The Quest: Rendez Vous avec la famille faim

The Challenge: 

Cook the evening meal for us parents and siblings at a place called 'Yummy Mud Puddle' near Burnsville, NC.

Tristan's note: Mum, that sounds like you are taking advantage of our concept... but a loophole is a loophole, and if it earns me experience points then I'll do it! Do you have any requests for the type of meal that you would like me to cook? The fancier it is the more xp I might get!

Challenge Accepted!

Wombat's Ruling: Yes mum, abuse the system for all it is worth! You can finally make him clean his room! As for experience, let's call it 600 (<1 day, Moderate difficulty) and 4 hours charity. I'll award bonus points once you upload a menu, pictures of the food, and testimonials from the guests. 

Meet me in...Minnie-sota sota!

The Quest: Exploring the North

The Challenge: Meet us in Minnesota! 

If the timing is right, roll through Minnesota while Dave and I are in town. You are welcome to join us at the cabin up north (everyone has a cabin up north), where there are plenty of trees, stars, fresh air, and cold beers. We could even proceed to Minneapolis, and see the beauty of my home town!

Zora's note:Man...why does our family keep thinking we want to do things like see them in cool places? It's like they think we like them or something.

...

I think we're going to be in Minnesota sometime in August...but don't hold us to that, our timeline is all outta whack. We would love to see the cabin and the woods, and have the personal tour of Minneapolis! We love having that insider knowledge. If we don't meet up we will happily accept suggestions on where to go!

Challenge tentatively accepted!

Wombat's Ruling: To get any points, you have to document something about this tour. Give us a top 5 list of restaurants, or beers, or nature trails (or something else), with pictures and blurbs for each. If you do that, it is worth 600 points and 4 hours of charity (<1 day, moderate difficulty).
