Halloween was last month but I never got to share my little
adventure in Dixon. Many may not know but the Dixon corn maze is one of the largest
on the 2007 World Guinness record book. It’s a great way to get lost and try to
find your way out, sort of reminds me of one of the harry potter maze. The maze
is only open during the Halloween season, which is more of a thriller if you go
at night.

Upon arrival, you can purchase your entrance pass for $10
for the maze. There is also a grass maze for younger kids. Your only instructions
are the one page map that you will hold on so dearly throughout the journey.
The map is coordinated by alphabets and numbers like chess moves (E12 or JJ2).
Throughout the path, there will be markers buried on the ground to indicate
your location against the map. You will find yourself either strolling on the
right path or backtracking around the same area figuring out which way to take.

I had a funny experience where my group had to take a slight
pause since we were absolutely lost. A group of young children was running
through the maze and shouting to my group, “You guys should just follow us,
this is the right way.” Our initial reaction was hesitation since the way they
were going didn’t seem right for our intuition. Luckily, we opt for a different
path because boy, were they going the wrong direction.
