> This party is to celebrate Sarah Fox-Skutley and James Varner's birthday
> (and all other valley virgos!). We'll provide all the beer for the Wild
> Goose Chase and maragaritas and beer for the BBQ and dance party. We'll also
> provide a hot grill and a bunch of side dishes. You bring your meat(or not
> meat) for the grill and anything you need for your meat(or not meat).

> Meet at Big Valley Trailhead at 6pm--the wild goose chase will start
> promptly at 6:15pm. The Wild Goose Chase(kinda like follow the leader for
> adults or similar to a hash run if you know what those are) will involve
> everyone chasing the geese (sarah and james) through the trails at Big
> Valley. The geese will get a head start and leave a trail of goose eggs(with
> fun surprises inside) for the chasers to follow and gather. Along the way
> the geese will try to trick the chasers with false trails that go to dead
> ends and stash beer along the way that the chasers will have to drink before
> continuing along the trail. There will also be other surprises and obstacles
> along the way to slow down the chasers. The geese don't want to get caught
> by the chasers because they'll have to get birthday spankings at the dance
> party if they do and since they're not as young as they used to be that'll
> be a lot of spankings!! DON"T BE LATE OR YOU WILL MISS OUT ON ALL THE
> FUN!!!!

> The wild goose chase will involve some slow jogging or fast walking on
> trails and through meadows. The whole route will only be 2-3 miles and
> you'll have lots of breaks and will probalby take an hour to an hour and
> half to complete. IT'S NOT A RACE and IT"S MEANT TO BE DONE AS A GROUP. Come
> prepared with good shoes or chacos and wear pants if you don't want your
> dance legs to get a little scratched up. But being prepared to go for a dip
> in the river after the chase would be a good idea too if it's a warm day!

> BBQ starts after the Goose Chase probably around 7:30 or 8pm.

> Dance Party starts around 9:30pm or so. This will be the best damn dance
> party ever with a full sound system and a DJ not afraid to get the house
> jumping with the best dance music of the past 3-4 decades!!!

> hope you can make it to some or all of this!
