What a fun time. Cola is always the best hang.  Can’t thank DK enough for hosting this. Thank you all for showing up. I hope your desires for misery were thoroughly satiated. Thank you HDLS for manning the blackstone. Thanks for the tortillas bajagringo, always happy to have those.

Back at the house we’re sitting at around a foot of snow on the ground and it’s still coming down. One of the biggest snows I’ve seen here. Great timing.

Great event, and huge thanks to all the staff for your hard work. Good obstacles, challenging range, and excellent barbecue.

I'll need to work on shooting with my backup iron sights on my pistol, and maybe change the battery in my optic before the match next time.

Got a little chilly overnight in my summer tent with a foot of snow on it.

Huge thanks to Atropian_Defector for hooking me up with a delivery from Kentucky. You've made some VA bros very happy.

Great event, loved it. Every body on staff did a killer job. Obstacles were challenging, the run was awful, and the pistol range ate my lunch. 5 out of 5 stars, would chug there again. Big thanks to you guys for putting the event on and making a first year event seem like you'd been doing it 10 years.

It took an additional 2hrs to make it back to Middle GA because of the weather. Saw a whole lot of "you can't park here" on the way home. I said I was hoping it would snow and it didn't disappoint.

Great to see everyone again and all the newbs for the first time. Hell of a group of people.

Only had one obstacle zero victim I think.

Big thanks to DK for allowing us heathens to come and puke on your property, you and your staff rocked!

I had a blast even though that course of fire kicked my ass.

10/10 on that brisket dinner.

Also, waking up to hear Conan was some awesome old school cola stuff.

Didn’t take many pics but here’s a few.

As a wrap up…

Absolutely 11/10 event. Obstacles were pure leg day, run was double plus leg day, or maybe my legs are just weak, I don’t know. The shooting was great, and there hasn’t been a finer specimen of Kalashnikov since we got that gold one from Saddam.

DK is big kang cola daddy fo sho, and llama wrangler and everybody else who helped out made it run very smooth. Many, many thanks to y’all. See y’all soon.

How heavy was that bag?

Don't think I have ever seen someone get eye scoped before, what's the back story on that screw up.

Looks like some of the NW events, but not likely this year as we are like least amount of snow and abnormally high temps for the last 150 years.

Looks great!  I wish I could have made it.  But I could not have missed the amount of school needed to be able to make flights that would get me there in time to run and did not want to take a chance of missing more school because of the potential impact of the weather on flights, so it just wasn't feasible.  Next year will probably be a similar story (we'll see), but hopefully this event will be thriving two years from now.  I will still at least to get to enjoy the cold at NW, lol.

Awesome and painful time, to say the obstacle course kicked my ass would be an understatement

My thighs were toast and cardio...ugh. the run walk was ,very,very slow. I couldn't feel my legs, I did hit some pistol targets and unsupported  rifle was like, fuck people shoot like this?

I cleared 4 targets, ran out of ammo, reticle was moving so much I went back to tank training for moving targets,track,track,laze track,track, fire

DK and crew, thank you for tips and for keeping me going.
