Oh I feel truly terrible for everyone who was working! I cannot even imagine how horrible and frenzied it was for them. I remember finding out the number of road trippers the staff was told to expect, and the difference between that and the actual turnout being just IMMENSE. Bless those angels. 🙏🏼

Um WOW. This was such a joy to read. I was on the edge of my seat!! I've never heard of anything like this!! At one point I realized I had stopped paying attention to the times and I was like "oh my god it's 1am!!" I truly enjoyed reading about this adventure. Thank you for bringing us along!!
