Dancers hunt for treasure: results

I know you're all eager to hear how Rats-a-roni: the San Francisco Meat fared on the treasure hunt. Well, we didn't finish, but we had a great time, enjoyed each other's company off the dance floor, and had an adventure in foul weather. We also solved a lot of the clues, which was challenging and exciting. Not very good in the competitive spirit department, I wasn't the only one with the tendency to shout out a solution in great excitement, fully within earshot of other teams in the vicinity. I was shushed good naturedly by the more competitive players on more than one occasion, but in the end it didn't matter since we didn't finish in time to turn in our score card. It's a great exercise in stretching your mind, staring in great frustration at the clue right in front of your nose and not seeing it, until you do. It's hard not to shout "There it is!" at the top of your lungs. There is a certain fun in slogging about in the rain, but all in all I would have enjoyed it more in clement weather.
