Stuck My Stick put in a good point last year -- that you can figure out what all of this means by showing up :)
So I won't put in my normal links and BS and term-guide etc. Like he said, if you've done this before you won’t read it and if you’re new it won’t help that much.
If you are new, just show up, bring your beer funds, and have fun. Better yet, whoever is bringing you should pay for you.
Don't look at me though. Not drinking? The trail/fun is worth it.
The simplest way to describe this is an outdoor beer scavenger hunt with some traditions. We are social drinkers with a running problem (mine, BallShaker’s, being that I don’t run).

If you read this far (unlikely), the word of the trail is "Exhibitionist." Work it into a sentence. Or some other way.

On On! Rain or Shine! :)
