It is a lot of fun Sistah - I would love to take you there! Aside from being a good place to go for Mabon to celebrate the harvest bounty, it's a great place to go to spend quality time with someone special. ...So you have to go with someone you don't mind being "lost" with for a few hours.... :-) Some people go in a group and split up into teams and make a sort of race out of it - which team finds their way out first. There was one such group there that day that were playing "boys against girls". We played as a "team effort", taking turns leading the way, choosing directions, attempting to locate the next bridge or trivia question answer, and just took our time enjoying a leisurely stroll together on such a beautiful day. Many families take their children, and I think it's a perfect activity for them. It's outdoors, challenging, fun, educational, and good exercise (vs. sitting in front of video games!) Here's the interesting thing - the statistics show that the younger kids are best at finding their way out of the maze. Apparently us adults tend to over-think, and over-analyze our choices, which usually has us ending up going in circles and getting stuck longer in one section - (which we did do for awhile!), whereas little kids will just GO.

It is a lot of fun Sistah – I would love to take you there! Aside from being a good place to go for Mabon to celebrate the harvest bounty, it’s a great place to go to spend quality time with someone special. …So you have to go with someone you don’t mind being “lost” with for a few hours…. :-)

Glad you had a good time, sis. Pass me an apple turnover please. I’ll have to come up and join you at a future “A-Maze-Ing Mabon” to walk this thing… it actually looks like a lot of fun!
