So I'm on Mt. Rainer yesterday being this sorta of support person for
my friend Tori's ride on RamRod and I'm sitting at one of the rest
stops WAY up toward the top of the mountain watching the 700 riders
go by when this SUV pulls up.  The driver and a kid get out of the
thing and run over to a place close to where the road and scenic
parking lot meet and puts up this free standing wicket and croquet
ball.  The guy goes back to the SUV the kid goes to the bathroom and
fills up his super soak and secrects himself behind a rock wall near
the ball and wicket.  After a bit this 50 something over weight guy
comes jogging up the mountain with a croquet mallet gets to the ball,
wacks it through the wicket and runs to the truck, slowed only by the
kids super soaker ambush from behind the stone wall.   The runner
takes a bit of a water break and then continues to run on up the
mountain road.  As the SUV crew collects the artifacts I ask them
what that was all about, thinking of my croquet famous friend in PDX
and he told me the guy is playing a game of croquet all around the
mountain as he jogs around the mountain.  about a 100 mile jaunt. 
Just made me think about you so thought I would pass it along
