48 Degrees, Breezy, Cold

Prep: Pre Ruck unplanned.

Arrived at 4am to prep, noticed both Security Cars were at both entrances of the Parking lot. I decided to “Die hard” my way to the top of the tower, to get it prepped. I placed all needed items, Duct tape, rope, gloves, speaker, etc in my Ruck, casually rucked by them and out to Cattlemen. After a few minutes, decided to army crawl over the bridge, so they couldn’t see me, and crawled through the bushes, on my way over and across the field on the northside of the island. Rucked over to the west side of the island, rucked down the path towards the Tower. I then slowly, army crawled up the main stairs to the top, hoping they wouldn’t see me. Duct taped the locks on the back stairwell door , then army crawled down to the 2nd floor deck. I then hooked up the ropes and weighted ruck sack there.  Got to my car, getting ready and the security guy drives up to me with flashers on , opens window and shines a light in my face and asks…” Are you the Black man who is doing that exercise thing later?”
