Maze thing, again

[prog]

Spent Saturday stomping around the Davis cornfield maze thing in Sterling with friends. From pre-maze breakfast to post-maze dinner the whole adventure took close to 10 hours, somehow. It was OK but I this will be my last one for a long time. I love the concept of life-size mazes, and I love seeing "normal" people attracted in great numbers to unusual games like this. But as for me, I've seen enough of them for the time being.

I have been able to get into the spirit before, but when I'm not I just end up following someone else until I'm bored and tired and ready to do something else. And then I look up and discover I'm stuck in the middle of a giant maze. Doh.

Deeply unfortunate: Apparently dictator555 and company got stuck in a loop because some pranksters rearranged some of the maze's many DO NOT ENTER sawhorses specifically to trap people. It took them a long time to figure this out, and they emerged an hour or so after everyone else. This makes me sad. It feels like a betrayal, even though it isn't the maze's fault.

There's a metaphor for life in there somewhere. :D

We were there about a month ago. the "do not enter" signs seemed to be misaligned
on that day too. You could bypass the midpoint courtyard and wind up back in the
first half of the maze if you took a wrong turn. At least, I think you were supposed to
have to go through the midpoint to get through the maze...
