We started this amazing event like everyone else, at mosswood park. We arrived at the amphitheater around 7:10 pm and picked up our orange and green ribbons. After talking with some fellow players and signing the waivers we listened to the briefing and began our journey. Our first manuever to avoid the chasers was to jump a fence and take an alleyway behind Mosswood Park. The alley was filled with awesome graffiti pretty plant-life. As far as we know, no one else decided to go this way. After jumping another fence we emerged near Pill Hill and proceeded down Webster St. We turned onto 27th for about a block and then again onto Harrison. We took the Harrison fork onto Orange, followed it up to MacArthur and crossed under the freeway near the paintings of the giraffes. From there we cut into residential streets. On Chetwood we had our first encounter with a chaser. Luckily as we started to run back up the hill he was reluctant to follow. An older man in an apartment opened his window asked us if we wanted a clue for the second checkpoint. He told us that there was a pathway from Alta Vista between houses leading all the way down to Grand. We made note of this as we continued to the first stop. Near the entrance to the stop we joined up with two other players, whose names slip my mind. We made it to the first checkpoint in the awesome rose garden. The garden was extremely beautiful and we resolved to check it out again on another day. We met up with the gypsies and then journeyed on. Using the tip the man on Chetwood gave us we found the path between houses and followed it all the way to Grand. We didn't encounter any other players on our way. A few steps on to Grand a chaser jumps out of a cafe and takes down one of our party. Karson and I jumped down a side street and as far as we could tell, were not followed. We found a freeway overpass which led to a school. We could see the Grand Lake from the school, which meant we were close. We hopped the fence to get out of the school and made our way to checkpoint #2. Here we had our pictures taken with a lovely man in a dress. We took his picture as well. There we met up with our other team member and continued up a hill into a residential neighborhood attempting to avoid the chasers on lakeside. We succeeded and saw no other players the whole way down to 18th street. From 18th street we could see the Parkway Cinema, previous home of our Rocky Horror cast. Horrible things awaited us at the lemonade stand in Athol Park. Here I encountered my arch-nemesis, the durian fruit. Not only does it smell like a rotting corpse, it also tastes like some kind of mix between mayonaise, guacamole, and artificial sweetener. You can guess the texture. Vile, vile fruit. After this horror show, we drank our lemonade and ventured onto 2nd street. From here we cut down to Peralta Park and through Laney College. We proceeded directly into the 9th st. safe-zone, without seeing any chasers. While there, we both defeated the minotaur and even took a picture with her. Theseus don't got shit on us. We doubled back to Laney and got lost trying to get around the freeway. We tried to cut through what we thought was an office complex. We were unpleasantly surprised to find out that this was no office building. Suddenly there was a flashlight in our eyes and a command to turn around. It seemed we had stumbled into the police station. He searched my backpack and demanded to know what we were doing out there. We told him we were playing a game and I showed him my manifest. He mistook "journey" for geocaching. After everything was cleared up they allowed us to go with a warning to be safe. They seemed genuinely worried and suggested we carry a weapon ( pepperspray, namely). We then ventured down the Embarcadero, encountering absolutely no one. We started to become confused as to where the 5th location actually was ( the map looks like it is across the water). Luckily we ran into the umbrella people (the mobile safe-zone). They pointed us in the right direction and we found two seemingly identical scenes at the pier. After finding the 12 differences, we had a conversation with the two girls at the checkpoint and learned that the next checkpoint had been slightly moved from its original location. We then continued up Washington to 10th st. From 10th street, we found the next checkpoint. Karson and myself told the man two equally horrible jokes and recieved a stamp. From there, we walked from 12th street to Harrison and took Harrison all the way to the entrance to Fairyland. The final checkpoint was at the gazebo and we arrived as #46 out of 258, around 12:25 am. We recieved our green badges, said goodbye to everyone, and walked back to Mosswood Park. Our journey was conducted purely on foot, no public transportation was used. We had an excellent and will take the opportunity to do it again.
