This was my first Journey, I ended up going with people from the Chicago Parkour group (we made up a 9 person wolf pack), I had never been downtown anywhere besides the riverfront and UIC so the experiance really opened my eyes (I had never even rode CTA before), the game started late due to over 500 people needing to sign in but when it really started we dashed off, sending scouts ahead to plan from the rooftops, sheperding those who needed help, and only encountering 1 chaser until zone 2. Once we got stamped and set off, we were ambushed while going down the shore, when we met up at zone 3, one of us had been caught. The troop stood together until half-way to zone 4 when we were abushed by an organized group, we split into 2 teams, one team got caught, mine didn't until 10 min. later when a wild card jumped out of no-where and got me. Only 1 teammate made it through the entire thing. The next day I took all the ribbons and wrote a phrase from moments I got them. For the Red chaser "Surprise Attack" for the wild-card who got me, for Blue 1 "Dead End" for chasing the person into a corner, Blue 2 "Bad Hider" for him trying to hide in the crevice of the area where a garage door meets the wall that protrudes 1/2 ft out, and "Short Shorts" for the man I stalked from 4 to 5 for the sole reason he had short shorts on. I wasn't really sure what I was getting into when I decided to go but I can't wait to get into it again next year
