Heck of a great first morning for a Hoedown. YHC would have been happy with 5 or 6 but in the end we had 17. Two Can was happy that he could wake up and drive 90 seconds to the AO. He was still LIFO.
They AO may be small, but there are plenty of areas to explore. No lack of jungle gyms to use for various exercises. The back field may be best used during a full moon as it is quite dark back there.
Fudd announced to the PAX the exact location where he learned to play the piccolo. He may have been by himself while he was learning. Not exactly sure.
Great to see faces YHC normally sees scattered across the various AOs. Hoedown is on the Q signup sheet so sign up for weeks to come.

Great workout today. The AO is so close that I was able to get up and ready, and then take a quick nap for 10 minutes before strolling over with ample time.
Hopefully Fudd’s piccolo playing didn’t coincide with the AO today.
Growing up there was a man in my town who would occasionally approach little kids and offer to teach them how to play his “piccolo”…my mom told me to stay away from him.
17 to start off, must be the AO name. Take that Hoedown haters!
Excellent start to the Hoedown – my arms and legs are jello.

Great Q today fellas! I agree with Lockjaw and Toucan regarding the close proximity of the AO to the hacienda. That’s hard to beat, despite the questionable name. Speaking of the name, for those that are interested, Urban dictionary has the following to say about the moniker of our newest AO:
hoedown
1. redneck gathering, usually involves shouting catchy phrases like “yee-haw” and “the south will rise again”
2. what a pimp says to his merchandise, while snapping his fingers and pointing to his genetal region
yo!….ho!….down…..now!
Combining piccolo playing with either scenario would be perfectly acceptable, IMO.
