Corn maze update is even funnier than the original. It shows an aerial view of the maze. Farm owner Bob Conner said he plans to put a marker on the spot where the family got lost, but hasn't decided what it will say just yet. "I don't want to offend them at all," he said. "Maybe I'll just say, 'The Famous Spot' and let people read between the lines." As to liability, the corn maze is a 'waste product' after production of the corn. Anyone who is thinking about liability versus two kids (one a small baby) hasn't got both their oars in the water. Dweste - I think your online friend was pulling your leg. Tell him to pull the other one-- it has bells on it and will jingle. Sue

Sue Danger in the corn maze - what about the dreaded wild corn boars? 400 pounds, 40 inches at the shoulder, sharp curled tusks, omnivorous, violent, and they feed at night. Fear the wild corn boar! Corn boars are what we used to scare little ones with growing up; usually it took a few seasons for them to realize that boars didn't roam wild through rural Minnesota corn fields, and it was actually our small joke based on corn borers.

See if I share with you guys anymore!
[Apparently the California Razorleaf Corn has been developed to protect pot plants. And every so often there is a ten-foot deep furrow - moat filled with the tertiary crop: piranha whose flesh is sold world-wide as filet-of-tilapia.]

With All joking aside there are a few things more annoying then the people that called the police. Every Corn Maze I have been too have "Lifeguards" that watch above the corn for people in distress. Not to mention they almost always have had PVC Poles with flags that you can raise above the corn incase you give up. Not to mention what farm would allow people with a infant into a freaking corn maze.
Also yes corn is amazingly easy to go through. We use to cheat all the time and just push on through it for funzies.
HELLO K9!!!! Shall be the catchphrase for when people misuse 911 and spots and plbs from now on btw!

And when someone does something dumb, people will probably say, "She couldn't find her way out of a corn maze!" And there's probably nothing wrong with taking a baby into a corn maze (they had an older boy, too) as long as the parents have an IQ at least as high as their shoe size, which apparently wasn't the case here.

"They were only 25 feet from the exit when they called the police," I have to navigate distances farther than that inside my house. They could "see the lights" as they said, but couldn't get to them 25 feet away? "Help! I'm lost in my living room! I can see the lights of my family room but can't get there! Send a rescue team! I have a small child with me!!!"

I thought that INS (Interfering with natural selection) already had that honor, or does that only apply to people who get theselves stranded a ways out. http://articles.latimes.com/1993-11-30/news/mn-62531_1_national-park-service/2

It's NOT just me! WHOO-HOO!... an exhaustive effort that took no lives but cost about $16,000, a painful dent in the Pitkin County sheriff's meager rescue budget... When the Aspen Seven began talking with Hollywood, things really got ugly. If people are making money off their rescue, they need to be hit with the full cost of the rescue. And anyone who says different is obviously one of the problem people. Many people seem to think that the money of OTHER people is in endless supply, but they want to keep their own. WA State is talking about turning loose a bunch of prisoners because they can't afford to keep them. In case some people have missed it, the economy of this country is tanking, no matter what the government and media are saying. The Aspen Seven could probably have afforded to pay for their entire rescue, but thought it should be free. Sue
