I visited a corn maze recently. Well, okay, in September. But I’m lazy, so I’m just getting around to posting the evidence now.
Have you ever gone through a corn maze? I haven’t. But My Liege and I happened to be near a spectacular corn maze a few weeks back, so I made him take me through it. Here’s an aerial view of the maze:
Cowahumungoid, huh?
Ten points if you can guess the province (or state!) in which it resides.
A hundred points if you can guess what wonderful city it’s near.
Two thousand points if you know what “BH” stands for.
Six million points if you can correctly identify the figure within.
Fine Print: Points are not redeemable for monetary or merchandisable value. Points are for your personal validation only and a shout-out in the Comments section, typed, I kid you not, personally and without assistance, by Cindy!
So, we parked near this maze and trundled our way to the tenty-thing. Now, I thought we’d enter the maze, get lost in under fifteen minutes, then screech for help to find our way back out. But no. The Maze Guardian informed us that we had to guess two sets of clues hidden within the maze, solve two puzzles as a result of finding those clues, and then, only then, would we win a prize.
I wanted that prize. I needed that prize.
The Maze Guardian handed us a map/drawing of the maze so My Liege could mark off the segments as we searched them (no way could I do that job—I’d have gotten us lost in no time) and I could correctly guess the clues as we happened upon them (seeing as I’m the brilliant one). It took 90 minutes to complete the maze and find all the clues! It was like running a partial leg of The Amazing Race. I loved it.

What an exhausted writer nearly finished the corn maze looks like:
I won a can of Pepsi.
The figure is a scarecrow! I don’t know any of the other answers. Looks like fun. Congratulations on your Pepsi. I can see you’re competititve. 😆
You are correct!! It pays to be an early bird, Edie. LOL, actually I’m not competitive, but the dh is. Well, I should say, I hate team sports and I don’t really participate in any sports, because I am a major klutz. But something like this that I can do at least partly with my brain and that doesn’t require athletic prowess? Okay, then I’m competitive. 🙂
Hmmm, well, I didn’t see the scarecrow, but I’m going to guess it’s near Victoria (so my guess for state/province is BC *g*). Have no idea about the BH, though. Hmmmm.
I’ve been in corn mazes in Ontario, but never anything quite so elaborate, with clues etc. Sounds very cool.
Nope, not near Victoria, Teresa. Not even in BC! Not in Ontario, either! Oh, where in the world did Cindy go in September…?
There is a Bohemian Hills Corn maze…. Glasco, Kansas
Ain’t Google wonderful….
A maize Maze.
Right country/wrong state.
Ah, Google is great, but on the other hand, you can get false leads too.
There are several mazes that fill the criteria of scarecrows, BH, etc. A fair number in Colorado, one in New Jersey, etc.
But the one is Boone Hall Plantation. Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina. That’s what the BH stands for.
Not Barack and Hillary. 😉
Wow, good job. I hope your wife helped. Yes, you nailed it. Edie got the most points, though, as she guessed the scarecrow figure first (yes, I know it was the easiest question to answer – points don’t necessarily have anything to do with the difficulty of the question.)
Yes, it’s Boone Hall Plantation in Mt. Pleasant, outside Charleston. An area I heartily recommend anyone to visit.
Oh yeah? Try a cedar hedge maze — so you get cut to ribbons if you try to have an escape — on a hot and humid August afternoon in Ottawa when you’re 8 months pregant. Peter’s still paying for that adventure. Oh what I wouldn’t have done for that can of pepsi!
LOL, Shelley. I’d love to try a cedar hedge maze, but NOT at 8 months pregnant. Yeah, make him pay. Make him pay but good. 🙂
