No Tom Tom or Garmin. Just you, your wits and 8-11 acres of corn stalks.
Fall in Virginia isn’t complete without a trip through these Byzantine Kernel Labrynths – “corn maze” just seems to elementary for some of these complex creations. The good ones can really challenge you, if you don’t just follow the guy that got out of his Range Rover and slipped the farmer an extra $50 for the key so he wouldn’t look foolish in the maze.
If you wait until the sun goes down and hit a moonlight maze, the spooky factor cranks up the fun. Add in a shaky home video, your teenagers, and you may have the framework for your own Blair Witch Project. baahaaaa….. Look out Spielberg.
