End of Mission 2008

You: What's going on here?
Me: Couldn't tell you. They're posing, I guess.
You: Grown men?
Me: Yes. (Sheepishly) One's my BF.
You: Hmm. (Sympathetically)

The context, however, is that Bruce, Steve, and I made a mid-season promise to close out Mission Ridge and that's what we did.
Some random guy on the lift back in February named Leo encouraged us to come over the last day cos it was a big party and he was going to BBQ 200 pounds of meat.
So we did.

Either Leo didn't show or he was the guy that got toted out on a stretcher that morning cos we never saw him. Even the lodge ran out of food during lunch! We got screwed on the food front.
What we did get was Mission Ridge's famous perfectly groomed corduroy. And that's all you can really ask for. Luckily, Don Julio and candy is very filling.

As the day wore on it actually got sunny. Could almost see Mt. Stewart.
