Art Fair & Maze, Saturday, July 24


Daily, nightly, weekly activities are continuous in Clear Lake. Today, we went to an art fair in the city park which is bordered by the lake and downtown. Ivan especially enjoyed talking with the potters (at least 8 or 10), who were displaying their wares. It was really fun to visit the displays of so many artists of varied talents.



OK, so much for the cultural part of our day. We moved on to the “Fort Custer Maze” just outside of town. This was an amazing structure of stacked pallets which had been used on the owner’s potato and carrot farm. Instead of discarding them, he used them to construct a maze which covers 2 acres. The objective is to find your way to 8 stations, where you stamp the station number on your card (given to you at the entrance) in the fastest time possible. We understood that the average time was 45 minutes, but some smart kid had done it in 33 minutes. Well, 1 hour and 30 minutes later, we were hot, thirsty and tired and decided that finding station #8 was not in the cards today. We left, went 8 miles down the road to Best Buy and bought a blue ray disc player for the motorhome. It was our “bandaid”.
