I will never. Drive. There. Again.
It took me 1.5 hours and cost $5.25 in tolls! Brigid has worked her little tookus off trying to find a site for archery in Fairfax, but now I'm going to take on the mission myself. This is ridiculous! I have plans for calling Blenheim Estate and if that fails, figuring out how to put a YouTube archery demo and then a plea in the papers to private homes in Fairfax Station where they have enough land.
Once I was there, I had good times. It was my first time shooting Royal Rounds in three years!
Round 1: 22
Round 2: 24
Round 3: 29
Average: 25
That means that after a three-year absence, I still maintain an Archer ranking! Go me!
Afterwards, Enequy, Sarah, Colum, Esperanza and I went to Famous Dave's in Chantilly for dinner. Colum has some great stories to tell and he and Enequy and a jolly laugh at me "By this time next year I'm going to be better than
you" comment to Earl Mika on the first day I ever held a bow. (Mika is a Grand Bowman Elite, meaning his Royal Round average is at least 100!)
