2 things

#1 ~ yesterday we went to the Haunted Winery and Corn Maze...that opened this weekend just around the corner.  Let me say that this is no rinky-dink undertaking.  These people have put time, effort and money into this little enterprise.  Everything was well built, well thought out and enjoyable.  We did not go into the haunted winery, as we live in a house that we all {silently}consider haunted & don't want to risk upsetting our spirits by bringing unsavory haunted feelings home with us.  I don't know if that's how the rest of the family feels...but that's pretty much where Mike stands & I pretty much agree with him.  The kids went into the corn maze.  Without the clues, they said it would have been easy to get lost, but the clues make it so you can find your way through.  They did give the kids a bamboo pole with a red cloth attached that they could raise up & wave if they got into trouble.  My only negative is that it is $10 a ticket.  I paid for the kids & not for me & Mike.  Had it been $5 to $6 a person, I would have paid for all of us.  That's pretty steep a price for a half hour of walking through a corn maze.
#2 ~ I felt it necessary to find the other half of the white trail tonight at Camp Stig.  Mike & I marked the course for our meet tomorrow and he left {couldn't talk him into running the trails with me}.  I set out and right away found the east entrance.  And I ran.  And ran.  And ran.  Up and Down and over the creek and up and down.  And finally 1.78 miles in {as it's getting darker and darker in the woods} I lost the white marks.  I turned it around and got out of there.  Took me 44 minutes to run 4 miles!  I would have enjoyed it more had I been able to join up with the trail I knew...and if I'd been with someone {I kept thinking about about the bear that was lurking around... or the sasquatsh...or the skunk}I did get out without harm ~ 'cept for the twisted ankle ~ The map on my watch showed that I was really close to circling back to myself...but I was up & could not find the trail back down.  I'll have to adventure another day.
Two things to do.  Find how the blue trail meets the white trail & how the white trail is one continuous trail ~ because I'm not seeing it! {I tried to cut and paste the map...but I am unable.}
