No Hallucinating...Yet

Country music blaring, a loud voice declares "Ten seconds until the break".  Amber and I slip our "pit pass" lanyards over our necks and open the gate to walk into the land of the tents that houses the stuck on a truck contestants on their five minute breaks.  As soon as we enter the gates Amber takes off into a sprint toward the back where Alex's tent is located, to be there to welcome and help him during his short break.  "Wow. She's enthusiastic" I thought as i slowly loped past the first tent.  

That's when i realized she was more than enthusiastic.  She was scared for her life.  I figured this out while i was standing hunched over with my arms protecting my head and eyes squeezed shut as a blur of 25 green shirts stampeded past me with record speed.

Apparently i'd underestimated the enthusiasm of the contestants at the beginning of the event. I'm more prone to affectionately remember the contestants two days in when the hallucinating and delusions kick in and they are moving at a much. slower. pace.

Which, to be honest, is the main reason this weekend is so dear to my heart :)

Here's Amber and I reppin' Alex's pit crew. 

Also, i may or may not have busted some regrettable moves to a few Prince songs last night.  I can't help what this weekend brings out in me.

Today is when Toad Suck officially begins.  So...that means...THE FREAKS ARE MOVING IN!

I hopefully will be back with stories/pictures of some of Arkansas' finest.  Somehow i forgot to take a pic of the actual stuck on a truck event last night.  But i did get a pic of this amazing banner hanging right next to the truck.

If they are already advertising drug testing banners this is sure to be an interesting weekend.
