I broke my own record for getting lost this weekend. I don't understand why people enjoy getting lost, have they never seen an episode of The X-Files?
"Oh look, glowing lights and blood beasts, you'd never see that on a map."Speaking of which, $5 bucks for the tour map this year. I downloaded the free version which may explain a lot.
I'm talking about the route map for Fermentation Fest's Farm/Art DTour, my favorite fest held in one of my favorite parts of the state.
Despite dreary weather and torturous mosquitoes befitting of a Klingon Rite of Ascension, I stumbled on infectious music, creative conceptions and a lot of mud.

| I was already lost about what, eight miles from the starting point? |
And then it started to rain. Which really sucked because I had to go to the bathroom. But it looked pretty.
 |
| Wrong turn number two was fairly scenic |
 |
| The rain and this sign did not help. The sun came out for a few seconds, hurrah. |
The cows were staring.

Enough for part one already ("Part one? Oh. Mah. Gawd.") it's already Monday so bring on the tunes. Sorry you're singing John Mellencamp now, but remember the title. I know it seems like a long time since you've read it.
Oh, okay.
I love the colorful cow painting and the little pink houses--I always liked that John Mellencamp song. I agree that getting lost is not always fun. It can be downright scary at times! Glad you finally found your way to the exhibit.
ReplyDeleteThe cow is part of a quilt show, I liked that one best. Scarier still is I just found out from the shop that I shouldn't have been driving.
DeleteLove the storm clouds and the view of the autumn road
ReplyDeleteThe rainy day added ambiance, Carol.
DeleteI love the photo of the long road!
ReplyDeleteAnother wrong turn, Brooke.
DeleteOh my goodness! That view is amazing - and the cow - I want it!
ReplyDeleteThat's from the barn quilt display, Alycia. Bet you'd enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteMarvelous! That long looping road is a stunner!
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up at http://image-in-ing.blogspot.com/2016/10/playing-with-photoshop.html
Ha, that's when I started out taking wrong turns. I guess the best shots aren't always planned.
DeleteSometimes being lost brings you the best finds! Love the murals and that view down the long road!
ReplyDeleteIt sure makes finding something, anything, special.
DeleteYou are so funny! Did you really get lost? I do not enjoy being lost either. I get very upset when I cannot find a place or when I cannot get out a place. Glad you enjoyed the festival!
ReplyDeleteI did indeed and after looking at the free vs paid map could see why. As well as my abysmal sense of direction. Yeah, me too, Ruth, how is that fun. I was pretty happy that I got to see probably the best stop on the tour yesterday (Tuesday).
DeleteI can get lost in a large closet, so I feel your pain. And your joy, because sometimes getting lost is half the fun! As long as you're not towing an RV behind you.
ReplyDeleteWere they little bathrooms? And if they weren't, did you find a bigger one? (At our age, we couldn't go on any tour if there wasn't a loo available every couple of hours or so :((.
Ha, no. I bet an RV in tow is a whole other dimension of lost, Sallie. They were little gambrel roofed barns, but any port in a storm ya know? There weren't enuf loos for sure and I really should have gone at the head (pun intended) of the route. I found a cornfield.
DeleteRain or shine, nothing stops me when I've gotta go!
ReplyDeleteEvery corn field began to look like a toilet.
DeleteSounds like a fun way to get lost. Love the photos!
ReplyDeleteNot so much, QH, I'd much rather find things.
DeleteIt was not pleasant, Felicia.
ReplyDeleteVery scenic wrong turns! This looks like a lot of fun, except for busting for the loo. that is not much fun :)
ReplyDeleteI texted my cuz a photo and told her my prob, she laffed her arse off knowing me finding a bit of privacy in a cornfield wud be hilarious.
DeleteGorgeous lost views.The worse feeling when you got to go but can't.
ReplyDeleteAm one too for getting lost:) I really like the artistic rendition of the sheep on the right side! And your shot of the barn and silo is beautiful with the dark clouds:)
