Relay Track Peeks: "The Forest" and Team Shadow

By Gemma Cleanslate

I am running the Honor lap on Saturday the 16^th of July but decided to take a practice lap around the sims on Friday just to check out the route and get a look at all the fantastic team sites along the way. It is hard to see them all in such a short time during the lap. Last year I crashed at least 20 times on my way around for the Honor Lap. This year I hope to do better.

On my way around the sims I was attracted to a designer sim, of which there are several. And I stopped off to rest and relax a bit in "The Forest," which is the instillation by Pluto Fairey. 

Be sure to visit and climb the steps to see what you can find to take with you.

After my tour of the sims, I stopped back at the Team Shadow site. I am a member of Team Shadow, and they are hosting the characters of "Where the Wild Things Are." Here I am standing quietly with no worries at the pond.

And here I am in my avatar of Duckfoot, ready to have my picture taken with visitors.

So please stop by!

Preview: Some Scenes in the RFL Walk

The night before The Walk, I had a chance to look at a few of the sights on the track.

The beginning of the RFL track in the Relay for Life sim, or is it?

Actually, the track doesn't have a true begining. This location in the Relay for Life sim, has info on the Relay for Life, and The Walk. A stall here will teleport you to a random location on the track. In the first few years, there was a true start and finish line, but with people porting there all at once, the lag was simply too much.

One can also get a "walk and talk" backpack to follow others on the track, and a pedometer.



Some Special Events were planned for the four sims RFL Wish, Unity, Voulenteer, and Treatment, set up in a square on the west side of the track, leaning east. In the middle of those was a castle, where I found this sign showing where some of the shops, rides, and events were.

The Teams R Us Flea Market

Special RFL Dalek Avatars for sale, proceeds going to "exterminate" cancer.

Nearby is a roller coaster ride.

Looks like RacerX Gullwing plans on holding some snail races here.

For those whom want an olympic challenge, a sled track, with both a bobsled for teams, and a luge single person sled.

Methinks I need more practice. Ohhhh, that hurt.

The Snail Racing camp, with a freebie snow snail avie

Approaching the New Babbage area, there was the Dr Who camp.
When it comes to cancer, "Exterminate, Exterminate!"

More to come
