re: Chicken run!!

Yesterday I was lucky enough to participate in a chicken run from the Shire to Rivendell! It was a record showing, with the final tally of chickens (that I heard) being 32, and with 22 escorts! Here are a few pictures of our exploits:

re: Chicken run!!

We lost one chicken who kept sprinting off ahead of the group. We were fairly close to the new campfire between the Ford and Rivendell when he met his demise within sight of the Imladris guards...

However, post run, Camara's prize hen decided she wanted to see the Bitter Stair and fell to a snow beast rock in the Misty Mountains.

re: Chicken run!!

So sad I wasn't able to make it. I still need to get my chicken to Rivendell to finish the quests.

Just say when... I'm sure we can put an escort together.

re: Chicken run!!

Looks like it was a great time!


I have started the quests and would love to finish them.

Might this be something we could do as a kin event? I think it would be great fun! :)

re: Chicken run!!

Also, this is the mail Wendy sent out to all the names she could remember who participated (if she missed you she would probably be very grateful if you let her know!):

Quote:
Thank you all!

I am more grateful than words can express for the joy you all brought me by helping my fantasy become reality. Being part of a massively multi-player, many kin, lots of friends, open invitation Chicken Expedition has been a dream of mine for years. Ours was an overwhelming success with unprecedented numbers: 32 chickens & 26+ escorts! I am deeply grateful for everyone’s efforts: to publicize; to make all comers feel welcome & included; to ensure that as many as possible got to complete a leg of their quest; to protect the flock; & most of all, to have a silly, frivolous, delightful time.

Meadowlarke and The Bounders of the Shire deserve tons of kudos. Their behind-the-scenes unflagging enthusiasm & encouragement, cheerful advice & patient attention guided preparations, coordination at the farm, & shepparded us throughout our adventure. Remember, /joinchannelshire-moot for access to the friendliest and most wonderful group on the server. The next migration is at Thanksgiving.

re: Chicken run!!

This was soooo much fun!!!
There was one chicken that ran out of time before we reached Rivendell because we were just having so much fun chickening around in town. *bows head*

I got the messsage (and a little something) from Wendy! So kind of her. :)
