*mongolian rally car (not us, but similar situation)

—

okay, so it was not an intercontinental road rally

that speeds through tough terrain

in a variety of countries over a number of days

but

i went on a nighttime road rally scavenger hunt

that went through a few cities for a few hours

 (or more if you got lost or had an inside track on where to find something)

a wonderful adventure with a great team and lots of laughs

including:

a marriage proposal, a virgin mary statue, a condescending best buy nerd,

a welcoming fast food worker, a parking lot dance-off

swinging on a swing set with a group

ending with a dinner with people i had never met before.

no bumps in the road, just pure fun.

*The Mongol Rally is an intercontinental car rally that begins in Europe and ends in Ulan-Ude, Russia. The rally originally ended in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. However, to avoid punitive costs and taxes associated with vehicle imports and disposal, the rally now passes through Mongolia and ends in Ulan-Ude. The principal launch is from Goodwood Circuit in the United Kingdom, with subsidiary starting points in the Czech Republic.
