Beautiful morning at #TheRanch today. Perfect conditions for the downpainment. 9 PAX posted, 2 FNG’s. Welcome to the PAX Frisbee and Dillio. We had Pasco finest (police SUV) as a guest PAX today posted in the parking lot for most of the beatdown. We don’t know why he was there, but we all behaved well :).

Few more photos from the beatdown are in our Gallery Section.
