Comments on: Sever’s Corn Maze 2002-2003 http://googlesightseeing.com/2005/09/13/severs-corn-maze-2002-2003/ Why bother seeing the world for real?

A bit southwest of Shakopee just west of 169 and south of 41, you'll see the Minnesota Renaissance Festival grounds. To the north of the grounds is the campground for the staff and actors - you see trailers and tents, so the Festival is up and running. To the south you see the empty parking area (the grassland), which means it's not a weekend. I can do you one better - it’s taken on a weekday between mid-August and the end of September.

So the Google photo is probably taken in the opposite year to the one of their website. There seems to be a temporary building that's in a different place in each picture.

I work about a mile east of there and if conditions are right (ripe), you are blessed with the aroma of horse manure. God help you if it's hot -- it usually is during the racing season -- and you leave your car windows down. If you look to the east and a hair north you’ll see Canterbury Downs race track.

When you look at the arial shot of the complete maze on their website you can see it says Sever's Corn Maze at the top (bottom) instead of just Sever's in the google map data.
