That's where the world's largest corn maze is - 40 acres of spook-errific 10-foot-high green and yellow corn stalks that seem to go on forever. At least that's how it seems when you're standing in the middle of them |

That is really really cool.
There is a small patch of corn somewhere near the city here which has a very simple corn maze for little kids to play in. It made me decide that I was going to have a big patch of corn on my yard, when I finally get a yard, with cool passages through it for the boys to play in.

Yeah, it is pretty cool. We were talking about this at a dinner party last night and someone said that the owners of this maze recommend going in with your cell phone, plus they give you a map with markers, apparently. They said after about an hour inside there, many people start calling the owners from inside because folks truly do get turned around and completely lost. 
What shocks me is that the "largest corn maze" in the U.S. isn't somewhere out in the Midwest, it's 60 miles from San Francisco!  Yachty and I are going to check it out in the next couple of weeks.
