Area 51, Waxhaw, & Union Co have a new AO named Clean Slate. It launched from Porter Ridge High School (Indian Trail, NC) on 1/2/21, and it’s one of, if not the best, AO in the region. YHC was asked to lead a solid group of HIMs for the 3rd Saturday workout, and I’ll do my best to document the events of the morning for your reading pleasure.
YHC tried to arrive early to strategically place a coupon, but at 06:15, there were already cars in the parking lot. Several Pax were already standing around in the brisk 31 degree morning air eagerly awaiting what was to transpire across the 3 campuses of PRHS. 06:30 struck, a reminder of the Mission of F3 and DCCS were given and we were off and running. Literally.
The Thang
Mosey from the football field’s parking lot to the elementary bus lot for COP

Moleskin
Solid effort by everyone this AM & lots of chatter right out of the gate. Fuse Box showed up wearing a brand new pair of New Balance shoes. A few Pax quickly noticed them and the chatter seemed to focus around his buying experience, his comfort level, etc. If I didn’t know any better, I would have thought the Pax had a foot fetish. I think it was just shoe envy. YHC did my best to keep us out of the marsh-like conditions (out of respect for Fuse’s shoes). The chatter about the shoes died down about the time CMIYC when it turned to Posse bolting out front like he was shot out of a cannon. The Indian Run must be a new concept/exercise to the guys because it was an epic fail. Practice makes perfect…. Speaking of epic fails, the free throw shooting contest was….interesting. Lots of airballs & bad misses (but lots of laughs).
PRHS proves to be a solid AO with lots of options. It can thrive if we put effort into it & there’s not doubt that the Pax of F3 Waxhaw will make it successful. It was an honor to lead you guys. Thanks to Catfish for asking & for the solid take out.
