However, not enough to slow anything down. I felt sorry for the racers when they were wet. They had to have been cold.<br /><br />I think the mud might have been fun to play in, but it was very difficult to maneuver through. I'm glad I didn't have to try to get a vehicle through it.Live and Learnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13493777474885053903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6315851262843522940.post-14437751157931587912016-05-18T16:58:12.701-04:002016-05-18T16:58:12.701-04:00I don't know how you find the number of intere...I don't know how you find the number of interesting events to visit but I sure hope you had nice weather for this one.

To think that they had to engineer that AND race them AND also in water and mud boggles the mind. I'm exhausted just thinking about it. Also loved the staff dressed up as chickens.

However, next year, I think we can find another place to park that will be free or just a meter. We were totally unsure of how we were going to watch this 14 mile race. From just one point, several points and where those would be, parking, etc. Now that we've been, we have a better idea and will have a better plan. However, this time, playing it by ear worked out well.Live and Learnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13493777474885053903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6315851262843522940.post-18119640305659211312016-05-14T07:18:27.710-04:002016-05-14T07:18:27.710-04:00So many possibilities for that title, aren't t...So many possibilities for that title, aren't there?Live and Learnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13493777474885053903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6315851262843522940.post-87154984373788673832016-05-13T22:04:04.739-04:002016-05-13T22:04:04.739-04:00(meant "adventures" -- spell check didn&...(meant "adventures" -- spell check didn't like how I typed)Lilihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13292553654219380455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6315851262843522940.post-59286217939319845902016-05-13T22:03:01.557-04:002016-05-13T22:03:01.557-04:00Anne, that's what caught me eye, too!
