My Muddy Shoes

Howdy, Forest Joggers!

August has arrived! We are halfway through Summer! Just think, in a couple of months we’ll be freezing in a dark parking lot, donning headlamps, heading off into the dark woods and wishing we had some of the Summer heat. Yeah, right! I never look forward to DC heat and humidity. But that’s what we got. Just have to make do, stay hydrated, and sweat our asses off. We’re tough. We can take it! I think we’re actually tougher then the Blended group that meets when we are finishing up. We’re just not as good looking 😉! Oh, to be young again!

Announcements:

• T-SHIRTS! T-SHIRTS! T-SHIRTS! Get’em while they’re hot! The 10-Year Anniversary shirts are flying off the shelves! Very comfortable uni-sex moisture-wicking shirts that fit true-to-size with a custom design (Thanks to KLD Design https://www.kld-design.com) on the front and one of our Muddy Shoes mantras on the back.
