10 MOPAR MUSCLE Maple Lane Corn Maze Page 10 - October 25, 2014 There were 10 brave club members willing to attempt the Corn Maze at Maple Lane Farms. The weather was perfect and everyone was ready for an adventure. After looking at our clues we headed out with Mike as the leader. Finding the first pole seemed easy. The second pole was found but we looped this area twice trying to find the 3rd. Pole. The lead changed hands several times between Mike, Chris, Kim, and Hugh. Everything was going great until we looped pole 6 twice looking for pole 7. The laughs were contagious as we made our way - finally to pole 10. After surviving the maze we all cruised to TC s Grill for supper. It was a great, fun filled evening for all! Sharon & Mike enjoying the fire pit Hugh knows the way! Farmer Chris Farmer Mike Farmer Ken Supper at TC s Grill We made it! Farmer Paul Farmer Hugh
