maize maze walking

Monday, Pam and I didn't walk, it poured. I've spent the better part of the week chained to my computer on Zoom, making videos, and doing the dreaded grading.  And walking around the block with my sister, of course.

I needed to get the hell out of the house. 

I knew Lydia was off, so I contacted her about walking. She said maybe a short one. Then I suggested a corn maze and she said yes. I researched. Seiple's wasn't open during the week. We could go to Raub's or to Klein's. Klien's is small and part of the dairy. It's also free. However, getting homemade ice cream doesn't appeal to her. She chose Raub's. We've taken the international girls there several times. 

Lydia dressed for Halloween —trick or treat tights, a Jack o'lantern shirt, and a Hocus Pocus mask. I didn't.

Raub's is not a traditional maze where you go in one end and come out the other. Here they have you hunt for things.The yellow one takes you thru the whole 5 miles of trails. You punch each time you find a locator. If you find a locator. We only found seven and didn't do the whole thing.

Then there's the Farm Market Monster mystery. You find signs with the monster and the crime. They aren't marked on the map. You're clueless where you are. Two sign posts didn't have signs.

The final one they've been using as long as I've been going there -- The Farm Market Mystery. Basically it's "Clue" But this time you have to figure out that the pig did it in the barn with a rope. Same signs every year. It's process of elimination so they just eliminate a different sign. I think last year the rat did it

After about an hour of wandering, we headed toward the barn. Bought some produce and yet another mask from the Easton High band. I need another mask like I need a hole in my head. It's a good cause.
