Adventure Sailboat Race
Where: Spirit Rock Ranch
When: 2 years ago [18 Jun 2022 09:30 SLT]

Race a sailboat around a traditional sailing triangle course of buoys so you encounter wind from several directions and have to strategize your tacking. Race against your friends and against the clock! Cash prizes in Gloebits to the best times. You must use the supplied sailboats which simulate a very realistic response to the wind.. Contact Kayaker Magic any time for sailing lessons.

A different adventure every Saturday morning, archery, surfing, sailing, BIG GAME hunting, horseback riding, kayaking and more!

BIG GAME Dinosaur Hunt
Where: Spirit Rock Ranch
When: 3 years ago [26 Mar 2022 09:30 SLT]

Join us on a hike through the pine forest shooting dinosaurs with the supplied weapons. We’ll start by riding a canoe or kayak down the mountain, through the Lost World gate across a lake teaming with megaladon and ichthyosaurs. No cash prizes this time but you get to take home a trophy: A dino head to mount on your wall or a skin rug for the floor in your hunting lodge. (The ichyosaurs bite, but we will be hunting stegosaurs, triceratops, hadrosaurs, velociraptors and of course T-rex).

Ballroom Dancing on the Titanit
Where: Spirit Rock Ranch
When: 3 years ago [15 Apr 2022 17:00 SLT]

Dress to the nines in period outfits for 1912. Dance to period music in the Grand Ballroom of the Titanic while it steams across the North Atlantic. Then at the end of the evening the ship will hit an iceberg, break in half and sink for your amusement! Music provided by DJ Rosa!
April 15 is the anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic in 1912, so this will be a once a year event on the Titanic. The ship is scripted to run into an iceberg, slowly sink nose first, fire off flares, sing out SOS on the Marconi, launch lifeboats, break in half, sink in two pieces and release a field of flotsam (including swimming rats). It is a show you don't want to miss!

Swimming and Body Surfing
Where: Spirit Rock Ranch
When: 3 years ago [19 Feb 2022 09:30 SLT]

You never did this in SL!
I tried to get the surfing community in SL interested in something besides board surfing but they never listened. Come join me for an hour of swimming and body surfing.
Let's just sit off shore and feel the power of the swell picking us up, the hiss of the wave passing by, the thunder when it breaks onshore. No contest today, but I'll give pointers for getting more out of surfing in-world.

Don't be shy to ask a question or discuss a problem with Blender, bring it and we'll see if we can solve it.
I've created a YouTube channel with some of the beginner stuff the way I teach it. Check it out at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5IheM2z1E9P5IhT9yjjNiw/p...
Class is held almost every Wednesday at 9:30AM, you must be able to hear voice to get the instruction, a Blender screen is shared on a media prim and on a WEB page (using Screen Leap).

Snowball Fight!
Where: Spirit Rock Ranch
When: 3 years ago [25 Dec 2021 09:09 SLT]

After you find what Santa brought you and open all your other presents, come by for a snowball fight. The fight starts at the shooting range because you can practice your aim at the targets if there is nobody else to splat yet. And you will be surprised to see how the dinosaurs react to being hit by a snowball!

Airplane Race

When: 2 years ago [9 Jul 2022 09:30 SLT]

Race against the clock and your friends. Several airplanes will be available to try, including one of the F-18s from the recent Blue Angel airshow.

Adventure Slide Show
Where: Spirit Rock Ranch
When: 3 years ago [21 May 2022 09:30 SLT]

Last Saturday I was climbing a mountain in the Snow Mountain Wilderness. This isn't a technical mountain, it is more just a vigorous hike in the woods. Never-the-less, I brought back some beautiful photos of the hike and this Saturday I'll do a slide show talking about the hike, showing maps and pictures. I'll give the talk in the Lost World Lodge where there is a big screen for the slide show, lots of rustic furniture to relax in, a crackling fire and dinosaur skin rugs on the floor. The slide show has some text but you must have voice working for most of the commentary.
