Another year, another Cougarfest. Surprisingly my 14 year old Cougar continues to survive despite it's best efforts otherwise. The trend of declining attendance continued this year with a total of 28 actual Cougars, but only 10 non-Cougars which means the 50% threshold has yet to occur. The smaller group meant we could all travel without endangering the public and fit in resturants reasonably well, yet we still managed to scare hotel security who couldn't figure out why anyone would want to sit in a parking lot and drink. Their response was to tell us to move further into the woods until we eventually passed out in the adjacent campground which became our starting point the following nights. I rode along on my first rally and had some good quality conversations instead of running around trying to talk to everyone thanks to the lower turnout.
