mapsedgeFor future reference: HSPs and corn mazes are a bad combination.
This is especially true when the corn maze is filled with patron-created false paths and many of the legitimate paths are made impassable by standing water and ankle-deep mud, to sum up: when the map you're given no longer accurately represents the maze you're in. All I wanted was OUT. I grabbed my son - who'd been screaming and crying in "I want to play in the mud" frustration for almost an hour straight - and made for the exit...or, tried, anyway. Fucking maze. By the time I found a path out - which I found only by listening for the sound of the crowd in the entrance area - anyone who'd stepped in my path would have been injured.
That took...let's see...two hours to recover from.

Yeah.
