Ken and I both weren't working in the summer of 1998. By choice. What better time to put on a Road Rally?
What's a Road Rally? Well, a true, official, road rally is nothing
like what we call a road rally. If you search
the web, you can get an explanation of the "real thing". But
road rallies as we know them are a bit different.
Here's the answer to the "what is a road rally" question from our introductory
email announcing the rally:
"A road rally is similar to a scavenger hunt. You are given clues that consist of puzzles which lead you to other clues and ultimately to the final goal. Clues will include puzzles which may require you to use any and all of your senses (including your common sense!). These may take the form of physical puzzles, word games, or even a conundrum requiring your team's vast knowlege of Mr. Roger's Neighborhood. The best ones (like this one!) use things that are a bit out of the ordinary and unexpected! Prepare to use your creative thinking skills, pull together all the resources you have at your disposal, and HAVE FUN."
Now that you know what we're talking about here, you can read on (or go somewhere else random if you'd prefer).
So far, my Road Rally 1998 chronicles consist of the following:
