Haunted Hayride

We went to the Haunted Hayride here last night. It's the first year and I really enjoyed it. First of all, it was way out in the boonies and took place deep in the woods. That gave us two things: a much colder ride and a perfect view of the stars. Also, a feeling of isolation, so I guess that's three things.

Luckily, I said maybe we should get coffee before we went and I'm glad we did. We got there about 9:30 PM or so and stood in line forever. When we were done and ready to go home it was 11:30 PM. That's a lot of standing! However, it was worth it. It's not that the ride was super scary, in fact, I was only really startled once. What was neat is that you're in the middle of nowhere, you're in the woods where it's total darkness except the attractions and the headlights of the truck and it's cold. I wish he'd turned off the headlights once just to experience the sounds in total darkness.

The ride was pretty long too. It was well worth the $3 admission that is going to charity. I'd never been to those woods and was surprised how long the ride was and how far it wound into the woods. I could have sworn I saw an abandoned truck but it was so dark. I'd like to go back in the daytime and take a picture if that's what I saw. Not sure if you can just go off-roading out there but it'd be a great picture.
