I can't even tell you how much I love this! Have you ever participated?

Wouldn’t that be great? Maybe someday, but I moved away for college and haven’t lived there since. I visit regularly though. So now that you mention it….I’ll need to think on that one.

I got to see this race, once, back around 1980. Fun stuff.

Really!!! Did you go to Humboldt State at the time? And where are you now?

No. I lived in California at the time. I had some friends who wanted to go see the festival. I think that they only wanted to go to buy weed.

I can imagine! Here in Germany (especially the western part), we celebrate something similar to MardiGras (“Carnival”) - they build giant vehicles which are similar in creativity and then ride on them in a parade.
