Well, Sunday, Evan and Jamie decided it was time for us to do something festive. Evan heard about this maze made from a corn field and thought we should go. So, Erin, Evan, Jamie, Melanie, and I all piled into a car to head to Missouri (we should have known from the location what we were in store for). In theory, this was a great idea. There was a 135 year old barn that overlooked the seven acre field that formed the maze, and all the proceeds were going to a church youth group's ministry. Yes, I did say in theory.
After about a 45 minute drive, eighteen turns on a supposedly straight road, and one milkshake made from soured milk later, we arrived in Anderson, MO. At the turn to the farm, there was seriously a guy standing on the side of the road trying to hitch a ride... your totally not ready for this... with a case of Keystone Light beer next to him. You've all seen the Bud Light commercial with the hitch-hiker with the ax/chainsaw, right? Did I faintly hear "Dueling Banjos" as we turned onto the dirt road? We should have known to turn around right then and there and drive as fast as we could all the way back home. Stupid idiots!
So, the Right Choices Corn Maze is run by the Manning Brothers Farm. They have a great mission statement, and you should really try the place if you get a chance, but go earlier in the season and before any monster storms hit the area, or else you'll wander around a dead, rotting corn field for an hour or so trying to make it more fun than it was. Anyway, I'll post photos later. Blogger isn't working well with photos right now, and I need to get to bed after the full a-maze-ing day I've just had.
