A work in Progress - GO MIZZOU!

Back in mid July I had an "off  subject" post regarding our 2009, 10 acre Corn Maze at the Pumpkin Farm.  Click HERE for the "Amazing"July post.  Last Wednesday evening and most of the day on Thursday (8-13-09) myself, Kirk Fischer and one of our trusty Maze Mowers, Jeff Hutsler took on the job of cleaning the trails and details of the maze which had grown up considerably due to all the rain we had over the past month.  I had contacted our neighbor, Tim Gunther, chief pilot of HELISAT, Helicopter Services and Technologies, LLC (click here for HELISAT site).  They make regular test and training flights over the farm and will sometimes  snap some picts for us.  As we were trying to get the maze cleaned up and trimmed for the formal aerial shot, I thought we might get an early shot to insure we hadn't missed anything.  I called Thursday while Jeff an I were in the maze, armed with "machetes" trimming and cleaning the trails and cutouts, so happened he was headed out on a flight when I called.  The photo shows the maze partially cleaned out, the white "speck" near middle of the old style helmet on the left is me and Jeff - red shirt- (can barely be seen by zooming in closely) just below me on the same trail - -.  As you can see by comparing the original concept drawing and the near finished product - it truly is a "Precision Maze" - -
