IndyGear 2012 – Adventure Day
As promised, here are the photos from last weekend’s event – Chris and I tagged along with friends at Ft. MacArthur for the annual IndyGear Adventure Day. I may not be interested in dressing up for Halloween, but I make up for it the rest of the year!
The day is full of running and digging in fields and tunnels, so I put together a rough and tumble outfit from some modern pieces in my closet, topped off with a $5 hat from downtown LA that I trimmed to look vaguely like a pith helmet. It was a very pithy day!
WWII reenactors made the fort into a British base, and we were tasked with excavating an archeological site in the midst of a warzone. I think we did pretty well, even with tea being on ration!
Photos by Lauren & me – see more of her photos here
Clockwise from Top Left: 1. Examining a bomb site for archeological treasures.
2. Lauren driving our team to safety 3. A team of Nancy Drews exploring the tunnels (since it’s make-believe we ALL get to be Nancy, and no one has to be Bess!)
4. Dealing with Military Bureaucracy
Clockwise from Top: 1. It’ll be less bumpy if you look where you’re driving!

It was! Cold, but fun!
Great photos, thanks for sharing – love the hat, you did well. Especially on rationed tea!
Ha, thanks! I'm glad to be back to 2012, when I can have loads of tea (even though it's keeping me up WAY too late tonight!)
Wow! This looks ridiculously awesome!
Fun! I love the pics you took! And the way you layed out the format is awesome.
It was fun 🙂 We need to do adventure stuff more often.
You looked great! Nice photos!
I seriously just can't believe how amazingly awesome this whole thing looks. Seriously, phenomenal!
