We participated in Gig Harbor's street scramble for the first time this year. The largest in North America, you're given a topographical map with numbered points on it. Each point is given a point value, along with a corresponding clue and question to verify you actually visited it. You could either go for 90 minutes or 3 hours. Because we're insane, we decided on the 3 hour version. At least it was a beautiful day for it:
Andrew and Arlie consult the map to make sure we were going the right way. After we climbed 80+ stairs. Carrying strollers. (We were.)
You know Gig Harbor is hilly, but you probably don't realize how hilly until your wife is wheezing up hill #20 behind you vowing to add some cardio to her workout repertoire.
Just for reference, we started this whole shebang at sea level.
After being a little sad that we didn't hit more points, we headed back to Skansie park with 1 minute 2 seconds to spare. Arlie made a rocket and both her and Andi had fun making it fly while we waited for them to tally the results.
To our surprise, we won 2nd place! Yay Team JA3!
All I can think when I see this photo is that Andi marches to the beat of her own drummer. Which is absolutely true and brilliantly captured here:
Yay some more! Totally worth the 2 broken strollers and aching feet!
