Wacky, Crazy, Human-Powered

The Klamath Kinetic Challenge is one of my favorite events of the year! Cooky, wacky, crazy, and creative are the best ways to describe it. Costumes, giant sculptures, crazy people....it's a great time.

For anyone who doesn't know, it's basically a race between these giant, homemade, human-powered vehicles that must be able to travel over land, sand, mud, rocks, and the water. There are really no rules and the judges take bribes:) It's basically a Dr. Suessian race.

It's probably just best to show you in photos:
My niece and nephew stand in front of the Banana Split Sculpture

Last year, this sculpture was a dragon, this year they added a mustache to make it a Lorax

The Kinetic Kops

This post-apocoloyptic cockroach had real working pincers and lots of details

Spectators dress up like this guy with silver paint

or this guy that my niece wanted a photo of

And the cockroach takes off 

The banana splits....
So if you like creativity, a little wackiness, and a whole lotta Dr. Seussian fun, you should add it to your list.
