And I was glad to know (sort of) that the only reason anyone solved the cypher was because they got a hint. How that was considered logical I will never understand. :)<br /><br />I love the idea of a kid race around the neighborhood, too...may have to do some brainstorming on that.Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05318037652705643459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8654887465201994138.post-66015608077995675622012-05-30T14:11:13.812-05:002012-05-30T14:11:13.812-05:00I'm totally in if you decide to do a neighborh...I'm totally in if you decide to do a neighborhood race! I'm so bummed I didn't find out about the Milwaukee Race until after the fact. If you find out about it early next year will you let me know? I think if I got my two sista's back into town for it we could be a pretty dang good team. :o) Nice job~ I will always think of you as 2nd place in the Great Race!

Even though we thought we came in 67th, the official roster has us in 69th place. And, well...we got to skip the ping pong. So I'm pretty sure we would have come in last. But we had so much fun, can't wait to do it again! <br /><br />Oh, and after we spent a horrible amount of time on that cipher, we called Adam. He explained how it worked, and we realized that we were very close to having it right but were missing the fact that we could pick either letter. We got the first 2 letters and my husband shouted "lighthouse!" The GPS confirmed there was a lighthouse nearby, so we went. We had no idea if we were on the right track, but when we got there we saw other teams and breathed a sigh of relief!Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06517808963005509046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8654887465201994138.post-82379547318612523632012-05-02T12:36:17.799-05:002012-05-02T12:36:17.799-05:00Oh my gosh!
