A swarthy six accepted the F3 challenge at this year’s Henderson Cousin Camp at the Maryland family farm on the Choptank River. Sun blazing, cornstalk waving, dragonflies buzzing, and a few bald eagles and ospreys riding the steady breeze off the river, here’s how these champs started the day:

NMS: Twas a beautiful Eastern Shore morn after a cleansing week of rain. Glad to have time with siblings at the old family farm near Easton MD, with lots of cousin play time for our kids. YHC was craving a solid beatdown and a handful of game recruits were glad to jump aboard the pain train. Brother Flint brought along his beautiful girlfriend Rebecca to our family weekend and she boldly accepted the F3 challenge – while many nicknames (Tinder! Haha) were mentioned, the PAX ultimately agreed the nickname STEEL was apt for all the sparks flying between Flint & Steel (and she builds homes for underserved populations). To honor our Credo YHC kept the overall beatdown to an acceptable moderation, and just added weight carrying others whenever the pax were slower going. As always, grateful for the opportunity to lead and bring the light and love of F3 into new circles. Unless next time, yours AYE! ~DTH
