1) It really was. I'm hoping it'll catch on in other cities, but they're supposed to do it again November 10th & 11th if you'd like to plan ahead!

2)It really, really is rough terrain. It was like going down the bunny slope and then deciding you could ski the black diamond. *shakes head* I'm not going to make that mistake again anytime soon. (I entered the park around 11th street, and there are some fair inclines around there, too. I don't know what I was thinking!!)

Thanks...I'm slightly broken, but I can breathe through my nose, which is a good sign.
