No work for me! Time to play!! Much to my disgust when Jeff and I arrived at park Raptor was down mechanical Funny thing there was when Wade (awesome fellow ride op) said someone had already been there looking for me. Also why is park so packed?? :( Off to MF, line 45 minutes, no thank you, but DID however stand there and scream "TONY!!" all along the queue line to no avail. so off to Maggie. We opted to wait on front and I must admit Maggie seems rather tame up there compared to middle or back where I usually ride. Wind was whipping and the slight pause before going down the 1st hill and up the 2nd made us think for 1 second "holy S-a rollback?" Must to my delight when we were on runway I noticed my baby was running so obviousely we stepped off Maggie and I immediately started flying to Raptor. During this sprint Jeff said there was a group of people who said "look, there's Raptor Jo-run Raptor Jo-run!!" :) We also passed Jeff and Stephanie on midway. By the time we got to Raptor there was actually a line, but wait was only 15 minutes. I think we got in 2 flights before meeting up with Dave (
Dodge em Dave) and Matt (
sky kicker) We managed I believe 3 flights before they decided to head to WT, I of course stayed right where I was at. I ended up hooking up with a Raptor virgin so turned him on to row 8. He ended up staying with me for my remaining flights. I even saw a couple of GOCC'ers I remembered from Fall Freak Out. By almost closing Dave and Jeff met up with me once more, 1 more flight with them, and I managed to accidentially sneak in a ride with that same train which happened to me last train of the evening. Imagine the look of shock and pissed offness when Dave and Jeff turned around to see me riding again. My comment? "650 Raptor rides for me,
NONE for you!!" :) Raptor put to bed for the night, park closed, we headed for MF to meet up with Tony (
Tony) Again I must say here that I consider myself one of the luckiest CP'ers thanks to having some of the most fun buds to hang with at the Po!nt. Dave constantly keeps me laughing (is that your pinkie Dave??) Tony, (despite liking MF ;)) and Matt are awesome too. It was another fun filled evening at Cedar Po!nt for me. Back to dorm to prepare for another weekend as a member of the bestest crew ever!!!
Trip reports on my 2nd working week have to wait, off to Quarter Horse Congress to play cowgirl-yee ha!!!

It's all about getting around the barrels, or over the fences, right leads, no faults, fastest time and looking pretty when done. What's so hard about that?
