We were planing to start at around 7:00 pm but got delayed by some last minute shopping, and ended up not starting till 9:00. It was only a 20 minute drive to the dead end of Marcasite Place. We parked, and the others waited in the car as I scouted out the exact location. It ended up being in a concrete rain gutter at the top of a reasonably steep hill with slippery footing. There was a barbwire fence a little behind.

Expedition

We were planing to start at around 7:00 pm but got delayed by some last minute shopping, and ended up not starting till 9:00. It was only a 20 minute drive to the dead end of Marcasite Place. We parked, and the others waited in the car as I scouted out the exact location. It ended up being in a concrete rain gutter at the top of a reasonably steep hill with slippery footing. There was a barbwire fence a little behind.

As the others in the car saw me running back down, one observed, "He's running, he must have found the spot".

Which was promptly replied with "Unless he's being chased!"

It wasn't difficult for most of us to reach, but my sister has Cerebral Palsy, so it was a tad of a feat to get her up. We set up the picnic blanket and Twister mat, then realized we had left the camera and GPS in the Car. I went back down to get them. We had a lovely pizza picnic, then proceeded to play Twister. Only we kept getting left, hand this left hand that; our spinner was broken. After quite a bit of tweaking, we got the spinner working and continued to play.

Now it was time for juggling! I got positioned and threw the ball, but as I tried to catch it, it jumped out of my hand and started to roll down the hill. My sister caught it and I tried again. After about 4 attempts, I came to the conclusion that I can't juggle without level ground, so I broke out the cards, something I knew I could do. We took a pic of the GPS, and headed down with only a minor slip.

Photos

  • Bag broke, noooo...

  • Pizza picnic!

  • I convinced my mom to join us, but I don't think she enjoyed herself very much.

  • It was a tad difficult to play twister in a trench...

  • I tried juggling, I failed miserably. Apparently I need light and even footing to juggle.

  • Your card is the 3 of diamonds!

  • Effect: You pick a random card, and stick in back into the deck. I spread the deck and your card is upside down!

  • See The Game

  • My Stupid Grin™
