Camporee preparation has proven…. difficult. Today I walked the event site and found a collection of gopher holes, poison ivy bushes and meteorite impact sites that sized to perfectly consume the human leg. I paced out sites for the various giant events and traced lines like trying to construct a golf course about Centralia, PA. I was dressed in work cloths as that’s where I’d come from and got not a few odd looks from disc golf hippies, parents and kids regarding the strange man walking about in business casual but removed all doubt of my insanity when I went back to my car, took out my 75 cm exercise ball and started rolling around the field on it testing its resistance to bursting on thorns and such.
Apparently I passed some rubicon of sanity as the park ranger only slowed and stared but didn’t quite stop as I sat on the ball rolling around in a wheat field. Some day I should do a performance art piece and get 10 fat men in business suits to do jazzercise in a wheat field with exercise balls.
