Tour de Coast Stage 11

This is an episode of the tour that you can play along with the home version of the game. Just get out your kids Brio train set and have fun. You need lots of curvy track, all your bridges, a tunnel and blocks to make lots of hills for the track. Designate one side of the room Washington, put lots of mullets and pick up trucks here. And the other side call Oregon and put lots of hobbits and earth toned people in Birkenstocks. Put tunnels and hills on both side of the room and in the middle put three different bridges together. Use lots of track to make it real long. This will be the Columbia River. If you build this out side turn the sprinkler on every 15 minutes for about 10 minutes and soak everything. Don’t ever let it get dry. Now designate two cars as bikes stating them on the Washington side. Move them very slowly. Behind them put about a dozen truck cars. Call them logging trucks. Move them very fast. Obviously they will catch up to the bikes. When they do, knock the bikes off the road to let the logging trucks pass. See if you can get the bike through the tunnel. Hard huh? When you build the bridge put three bridges together, a draw bridge, flat bridge, and suspension bridge to make one long bridge. Try too get the bikes across the bridge without the logging trucks forcing them into the water. Don’t forget the sprinkler! Every 15 min. On the Oregon side make the tunnel very long and go up hill. This will cause the bikes to go real slow . Having fun? We are.
