The Forecast.... AND BEYOND!

We here at Team Seagal HQ are stuck betwixt a rock and a hard place. But since this is Team Seagal we are talking about, it's not a rock, but rather a sniper hidden away in a secret crow's nest holding a Barrett .50 cal rifle. And rather than a hard place, it's Criss Angel's hard....

So what I'm trying to say here is that we're stuck between the possibility of calling this thing on account of weather, or holding it and getting more rain and thunderstorms whilst out on course.

Regardless, we will be down there and the course will be fully marked Saturday, ready to go. The course will have both yellow caution tape in strategic spots, and yellow chaulk. Look for it. However, the cue sheets that we had made are now not really very useful as we have changed the start. The start line was going to be at the Council Bluff boatramp like last year, but since the trail is flooded in many spots, we will now be starting and ending at the DD/32 trailhead parking lot, which allows you to end at your car.


***SINCE THIS PARKING LOT IS SMALL, PLEASE CONSIDER PARKING AT THE COUNCIL BLUFF BOATRAMP AND COMBINING CARS!!!***

Of course we VERY much want this non-race to go down - we want it at least as much as Criss Angel wants first boners. We'll be paying close attention to the forecasts, which have so far been mixed. Some links to check:

We are planning on setting a go/no-go time cut-off of around 5 pm on Saturday. Don't get scared - come down and party in the woods! We'll be at the campgrounds!

If you finish the non-race on one of these fucking things, you automatically win. And by win, I mean fail. At life:
