Journey to the Barn

We've been talking for years about how we need to assign phrases to all of the steps along the way during a game of euchre, since point number nine is called "in the barn." What are the rest of the steps?!

After many many months of discussion, we finally landed on this journey to the barn. It's mostly various modes of transportation to get you from zero to ten points.

Point 1: Funicular, down the mountain to the...

Point 2: Combine, across Trump Fields* to the...

Point 3: Zip line, over Stopper Holler to the....

Point 4: Sailboat, across Euchre Lake to the...

Point 5: Skunk Folly! Time to take a break, take a rest!! You're halfway there! Then...

Point 6: Trampoline, bounce up into the...

Point 7: Hot air balloon, float up to the top of the cliffs to the....

Point 8: Hay ride, trot over to the barn and then....

Point 9: You're in the barn!! If both teams are at the barn at the same time, this is deemed a "BARN PARTY" and it's very exciting.

Point 10: WIN!!!


*Trump Fields have no association whatsoever with President Donald Trump. The fields are named after the word trump, which is commonly used to indicate the specific suit that holds the highest rank in a variety of card games. Euchre dates back to the early 1800s, and while I did consider not using the word "Trump" on my map because Donald Trump is gross, I also thought that was giving him too much power. Euchre came first, bitch!!!
