Hoosier Daddy!!....

Hoosier Baby!! Hoosier Buddy!!! Hoosier Friend!!!

Sorry, all due apologies to any Toby Keith fans out there I just love good wordplay. And I have Story, Indiana on my mind this week. GOALS ARA is saddling up for the Planet Adventure 24 Hour Challenge. Post time is 8am on Saturday morning with a deadline (that we hope not to have come into any kind of play) at Noon on Sunday. I'm not a rocket scientist but wouldn't that make this a 28 Hour Challenge???? Or are we allowed to use motor vehicles for hours 25 through 28 thus removing the Challenge???? I smell a strategic decision in the works. :)

Enough silliness. Finn is going to be checking out all the action live on Checkpoint Tracker. The field looks formidable with EMS, CPZero and Base Camp. Teams loaded with folks that we saw at Michigan MiX last year. As well as some tough teams that we haven't seen in person such as Alpine Shop.

There's promise of real orienteering in Story, decent flooding on the course from recent heavy rains. Top that off with temps between 40 and 60 degrees and this should be a good time. Frosty likes running in the cooler weather. :)

Hey, if you come across me on a bike or in a boat at 3am I just might be willing to sing a rendition of Hoosier Daddy. I can't sing a note in daylight but you add exhaustion and/or beer and damn I think I'm the next American Idol.
