Many have witnessed Draegon and Visiting Vet Tech stop mid-conversation, interrupting like anxious five-year-old children, nearly hitting the person next to them as they fling their arm out pointing, calling out "Windmill!" as if possessed with some strange version of Tourettes syndrome.
The reason is all in a road game we created ourselves and invite all of our intrepid geocaching friends to join in.
Heres the rules:
* When travelling about, once you SEE the item below, call the appropriate name for your points.
* If you pass by the same Windmill after a proper amount of time (for us its a few minutes) it can be called again.
* No preemptively claiming Windmills, you have to be able to see the item.
* Any claim may be pluralized for a grouping of any one type of windmill. i.e. gas stations that sell large yard windmills can be called "Windmills!" but will not include the windmill picture ("wontmill!") on the store logo
Windmill - an entire wind-operated mechanism. These include farm-style windmills, electrical wind turbines, and wind-blown yard decorations. Wind socks, wind chimes, etc are not mechanisms and do not count.
Wontmill - a statue, outline, picture (or 'moving picture'! on TV), etc of any style of windmill.
Wasmill - a non-operational windmill or piece of any style of windmill. Fan blades, rudders, base stands, etc all count for this. If two or more pieces are next to each other, each piece counts individually.
Willmill - any piece of a windmill yet to be constructed or established. This would include electrical turbine blades in transport, pinwheel yard ornaments still in packaging, etc...
Wordmill - Any printed 'Windmill' word. Including street signs, subdivision or property names, television script, etc...
Waremill - Any produced item made to replicate a piece of a windmill that was never part of a windmill. i.e. fan blade clocks, rudder signs, etc...
Wishmill - Your challenge claim! If your neighbor calls "Windmill!" at the windmill statue, you can claim "Wishmill!"
The winner gets bragging rights of being awesome
