My good buddy Claudia and I had been talking about going to visit a hay maze for months. Ever the master organizer, Claudia found a hardcore corn maze in Dixon, nailed down a date, and gathered a group of friends who were also game. My only concern was my ankle, which is still healing from my tumble at Collins Lake. While I'm not completely healed yet, I was strong enough to walk/limp on my own and I planned on taking my time finding my way through the maze. We arrived at Cool Patch Pumpkins on a gorgeous Sunday to be greeted with a the fanciest pumpkin patch I had ever visited. The creative decorations struck every chord of cute, kitschy, and creepy. Oh, and the maze was hard! I'm so glad to have friends who were not only free of injuries, but have an excellent sense of directions.
