Journey to the End of the Night: San Francisco Halloween 2011 by Continental Op
October 30th, 2011 2:00 PM
This was my third Halloween Journey to the End of the Night, and there were two big changes this year: the ability to visit the checkpoints in any order, and the optional resurrection checkpoint. My cohort and I chose a route that relied heavily on public transportation, but we were unfortunately tagged on the way to our third checkpoint. Thankfully, it was just a few blocks from the resurrection point, so we hoofed it over there, took part in the challenges, and became runners again. The scariest part was making it from Chinatown to Nob Hill. Chasers were everywhere, and at one point we were forced to duck in to a dead-end alley and pretend to be digging through someone's garbage while a large herd of them walked past. Our fatal mistake came when we missed our stop on Muni and had to get off one stop further and back-track to the safe zone. One block from the safety of Fort Mason, we were spotted by two chasers. I ran faster than I'd ever run in my life, but he got me in the end.
