San Antonio, Texas 2011
2011 brought the folklore of secret agents to the fore. Apparently they were all being killed. Laura, Adam and Ray, as a trio, collaborated on their first of many road rallies where for the first time the division of labor was clear: Laura did the clue writing, Adam concerned himself with the logistics, and Ray shot and edited rally videos that were among the best that we have seen. The clue runs took teams down the river walk of San Antonio, into eclectic costume shops to don their trappings, and through interesting antique stores in Gruene. At one cemetery, the only way to find the appropriate grave was to enter the name of yet one more agent who had met his fate, into a computerized plot index: JAMES BOND. The party took place on a stream front, with everyone noodling and sitting in floating chairs in the river drinking beer.
