Friday I took the day off work as my friends and I were planning on going to a haunted corn maze in Malta, IL, which is about 70 miles away. I go to the maze every year as I love Halloween and love haunted houses and shit like that. Anywho check this shit out:

At the bottom, you can click on the link for the haunted part. There are two parts to the corn maze; the first part is the non haunted part, the second part is the haunted part. It is a great value for the money, only $10 and between the two sections, you are in there for well over an hour. The first year I went was two years ago and it was shaped like a penny in honor of the 200th birthday of Abe Lincoln. We entered through the bullet hole. What? Too soon? Anywho, last year it was the shape of the Boy Scouts logo. We entered in through the..........wait, probably too far. This year it was in the shape of the Dekalb high school logo.
This was the first time I was going to have multiple people in my brand new car, the Ford Fiesta. There was a total of five of us in the car which is probably too many as the backseat was really cramped. I learned this when I rode in the back on the way home. We met four other people up there shortly after 8 in the pm and much to my surprise, there was practically no line, which was a shock because the weather was literally perfect. It was in the 60s out, very clear and with no wind. It was ideal.
We quickly got lost in the first section of the maze. This part easily took us over an hour, but it was still fun. The haunted section was more fun, made even more enjoyable by my friend's crazy antics. There is a part of the maze in which you have to walk through this black area which is, well shit, it's kinda hard to describe. I guess it kinda looks like a jumpy, except it's not. Right down the middle is a division in which you walk through it, but my friend must not have seen that because he though it was a jumpy. So guess what? He put his arms out literally jumped right in the middle landing flat on his stomach and balls. And what is even funnier is that as soon as he jumped we couldn't see him anymore. It was classic!
After the maze, we went into Dekalb which is only five minutes away and home of Northern Illinois University. The first bar we went to was Dekalb's legendary Otto's, which, I guess is not so legendary as we were practically the only people there. So we bar hopped to a couple of other bars and drank it up before eventually going to the hookah bar. We got there at 1:05, sadly it closes at 1. But, not so sadly, the guy behind the counter was nice enough to let us smoke and he made us a couple of hookah pipes. And then proceeded to let us stay until three in the morning, two hours after they closed!
All in all it was a great weekend. Hope you had a good one too.

That sounds like great fun!!! I've never been a maze (haunted or not)... they sort of scare me... Idk... what if I couldn't get out? LOL. I don't wanna be that hysterical crazy girl who they have to go in and bring out.
haha.............nah, you'd be fine, there are workers in there and other patrons as well most of which are more then happy to help out a fellow lost person.
