Breandan >>>> WOW What a story! Thank goodness you guys came out ok! I must say my favorite part was  "we managed to maneuver between vehicles like a ferret on meth" LOL What a visual!!!!

We have a 3 1/2 - 4 hour trip to faire ourselves but never had a story like that happen! Most that ever happened to us was the first year I went to faire with my husband ( also my first year to camp) we could not leave until 11 pm Friday night. By the time we got to the lonely stretches of road there was not a soul on them. We hit about a mile long patch of fog that looked like something out of a Steven King novel. You could not see anything an it seemed to roll around us. It was spooky! And it was AHE weekend so I was really freaked out. That was the longest trip to faire ever!!!

Between my preggo self having to get up, oh every 5 minutes it seemed, to go to the port-a-potty in the middle in the freezing night, and having Teach show us Llamas in Hats (Carrrrllllllll!!!!!!!!), going to Miss April's campsite and scarfing down cake pops with spicy crackers, and visiting McShugg's camp with Meggers, I have nothing but smiles when I think of faire camping... and that was just my first time out there camping! lol...

my Anglo-Saxon Lit professor had me recite Beowulf... I held a group of late-teen/early-twenty-something spastic college kids in rapt attention for an hour reading a book aloud, and got applause at the end. Not bragging, just saying I was shocked I could pull it off.

Then again, being the quiet old guy in class who hardly speaks, walking up to the podium, and then suddenly booming forth "HEAR ME! LO, praise of the prowess of people-kings, of spear-armed Danes in days long sped we have heard, and what honor the Athelings won! Oft Scyld the Scefing from squadroned foes, from many a tribe, the mead-bench tore, awing the earls..." with a full-bore brogue (can't control it when I recite, only when I speak conversationally... damned American accent is a PITA to maintain at-volume)
