+OzzieSan Posted August 15, 2002 Share Posted August 15, 2002 Anyone ever do the "corn maze" with their GPSr? Think I may give it a try this year. In case you are wondering what I am talking about it is a very large maze cut in a field of corn just south of Mt Vernon WA. Quote Link to comment
+brdad Posted August 15, 2002 Share Posted August 15, 2002 Too bad the satellite images at terraserver are not real time - you could load the route into GPS and make it seem like a cakewalk with a GPS! There are two rules for success: 1) Never tell everything you know. 2) Quote Link to comment
+Mr. Snazz Posted August 15, 2002 Share Posted August 15, 2002 Isn't there a similar maze in Oregon? Sorry I can't provide more info, but I recall reading about it a year or so ago. Maybe it was the Washington one; It was pre-caching days, which means my geographic skills were slightly better than a rock. Quote Link to comment
my sister Posted August 15, 2002 Share Posted August 15, 2002 quote: Similar maze in Oregon? Around Halloween they have one on Sauvie Island in Northwest Portland. It's fairly fun, but really easy. Quote Link to comment
Kelly's Heroes Posted August 15, 2002 Share Posted August 15, 2002 I have seen is between McMinnville and Sheridan on the "highway of death" Hwy 18, at the turnoff to the Old Sheridan Highway and Masonville Road. Here are the coords(according to my memory and ExpertGPS): N45*10.323, W123*14.698 Quote Link to comment
+travisl Posted August 15, 2002 Share Posted August 15, 2002 Another nice one that's open through most of October is at Hunters Christmas Trees in southeast Olympia, near the Amtrak station. MapPoint shows it as close to N 46° 59.281, W 122° 47.166. (Amazingly enough, no caches within 4¾ miles.) I don't know how well a GPS would work in a corn maze, though. It's not so tough to know where you are... the hard part is knowing how to get over there (*pointing*). "Why don't you just ask somebody?" "No, no. I've got a map. Don't worry about that."

+asatruar Posted August 15, 2002 Share Posted August 15, 2002 A GPS would be more or less useless. The one near Victor MT had postcards with a aerial view, so you might be able to scale it out and establish waypoints if you really wanted to work at it. Leave the GPS at home, and enjoy the frustration of getting completely tangled up in a few acres of corn. Quote Link to comment
+nmartin Posted August 15, 2002 Share Posted August 15, 2002 There is another corn maze in Salem, at the corner of Chemawa rd and Cordon rd (farm with a pumpkin patch, hay rides, corn maze...). Normally see it open just before holloween. Quote Link to comment
+OzzieSan Posted August 16, 2002 Author Share Posted August 16, 2002 Im going to talk with the folks at our local maze and see about setting up waypoints at the hint locations in the maze. I guess it would be a test to see who has the best waypoint entry skills. Quote Link to comment
