The Two RV Gypsies: Full-Time RVers

got lost in the Fort Custer Maze
in Clear Lake, Iowa on June 2, 2012

Fort Custer Maze in Clear Lake, Iowa
Fort Custer Maze covers nearly two acres and has two miles of trails. It was built like a real Western Fort, including center lookout tower and 4 corner blockhouses. Construction required over a quarter million feet of lumber, enough to construct 10 large homes!

Maze design changes weekly during the summer season. When the two RV Gypsies checked in and paid at the office, their time was logged in and will be logged out of the maze when they are done. There are weekly prizes awarded for the fastest times.

There is a Gift Shop with ''authentic'' western artifacts as well as gifts including Maze T-shirts.

There was also a Jumperoo Bounce Castle for children FREE with admission!

Fort Custer Maze was designed by the ''World's Leading Maze Consultant'' - Adrienne Fisher, who is based out of Portsmouth, England and has written several maze books and designed well over 200 mazes worldwide.
