Jell-O Wars IV
The day started out looking nasty as heavy storms passed through. It was still heavily overcast when we headed out. But as the teams set up for battle the clouds magically parted and the sun made an appearance...leading eventually to mild sunburns for a few. The teams were red and green. There was smack talk and boasting, all in good humor. Some take it way too serious and some declared, "Screw the rules." They just wanted to chuck Jell-O. And chuck Jell-O they did. Refrigeration was arranged at a local restaurant for the massive amount of Jell-O mixed up as ammo...about 120 gallons in total. You may ask, how long does it take two teams to fling 120 gallons on Jell-O at each other? About 30 minutes. This is not a few friends getting together for a day activity. This is a year in discussions, months in planning, weeks in production and hours in deployment. And logistics for next year are already being discussed.
