Driving to the AO I was afraid  I would be the only boot camper and so be forced to throw on a backpack and go with the ruckers on some silly adventure, but no: my fellow boot campers were already assembled, no worries. We glared at the Ruck crew judgingly and they returned the favor, the disclaimer was given, with an added one that this was my 1st boot camp in about 2 months, and we were off. Nice easy mosey to Tega Cay Baptist which happened to be my polling place, already a few cars in the lot.  I think there were some complaints about the run but YHC ignored them.

NMS – Reminder to the PAX to not take our country and our freedom for granted. The peaceful transfer of power is a beautiful gift and regardless of our party we need to appreciate it.  We will have a new leader and it will not take someone being murdered or some military coup rather it is done through the peaceful voting of the people.
