This fifth point, Inflated Expectations, ended up being so long I broke it apart into a second article because I didn’t want to gloss over it. With that, enjoy the conclusion of the article and hold on tight, some people may get some feelings hurt but you’ll thank me in the end.
Shale Hill has so many unique obstacles people started changing the name of them to “Robstacles” after owner and creator Rob Butler. Literally, don’t even know where to start describing signature obstacles, so I’ll just show you pictures of some of them.
