With a 34 degree starting temp (and 15 mph winds), YHC was not terribly confident , and yet, one by one, then two by two, and by three the PAX poured in until the count was 13 (and 1 for Cardinal)

Naked Man Moleskin:

It is always tragic when a brother falls, and even more so, when they are so young. May the memory of Taylor Phelps endure, and may his memory be a blessing now and forever.
