Yes you heard right a diamond run. The local jewelry store in downtown did a scavenger hunt on a Sunday afternoon. There were 200 couples wondering around Asheville looking like they were lost and texting every step. Jonathan had to work so I talked Ho into playing the game with me. It was a 2 & 1/2 hr race. They would text you a clue about a place in the town. You would text it back and if your answer was correct you would have to go to that location and answer another question, this was a something about the place. We walked all over town. You could use bikes, scooters, or skateboards, no motor... I didn't know I could walk that far. They would ask what is the Holiest Street and you would type back Church Street. Then you would have to go there to find the oldest church...we were at the Grove Arcade and had to walk 4 blocks to church. We read maps, called the Bear, ran up and down the road, and had a good time. The 3rd time past the Mellow Mushroom Ho was begging to stop for a beer break but we keep going. We ended up with 241 points not bad we were ranked about 75 out of the 200. The couple that won got a $20,000 Lazar diamond...it was amazing & beautiful. This was the 1st annual so maybe we can try again next year, Ho just wants to make sure Jonathan is not working that day next year.
