Three color-coded teams of intrepid explorers set out on Saturday afternoon to seek downtown Anacortes' treasures. They had to solve a series of devilish clues and puzzles created by Therese Rudzis and Mary Staley to guide themselves to 7 locations where they were required to procure offerings from local merchants and ask befuddled strangers to photograph the team in action. All three teams succeeded in completing their tasks and were declared winners (though it would be remiss to fail to point out that some were faster than others: go Green Machine!).
After a couple of exhausting hours searching the wilds of Commercial Ave the teams reunited at Frida's with organizers Therese and Mary to celebrate accomplishments and regale the assembly with tales of adventure. Businesses visited included: Wishing Rock, Sugar Mama's, Pelican Books, Fidalgo Fudge, and the venerable Rockfish Grill. Until our next adventure...!
