          Wonderful how they've constructed that, but you must be freezing cold by the time you find the exit, especially if you go down a few wrong corridors.

              Remember, you always take the right turning - or was it the left? :scratch: - to get out of a maze! :heehee:

                I seem to remember it can be either left or right as long as you always do the same.
                But its not the fastest way so hypothermia is a possibility.:biggrin:

                  Speaking of Hypothermia a Bison at 35f below, how anything survives this amazes me. [​IMG]

                    Seriously, I have watched nature programmes about Mongolia, Siberia etc and cannot understand how the animals survive.

                          I don't suppose it would become as slippery as wood, and it looks nicer stained like that too.
