The Twelve Huntsmen

·         A princess is betrothed to a prince who has to go home to his father's deathbed. 

·         The father wants him to marry someone else, so he can't go back to the maiden. She grieves, then asks her father to give her eleven young women as companions who look just like her, because that's really the best wait to cope with a bad break up.

·         Oh wait, it's all part of her secret plan. Her ladies in waiting all dress in drag and go to her betrothed's kingdom, offering their services as huntsmen.

·         The king has a rather discerning lion who determines that the huntsmen are actually women, so they set a bunch of tests: whether they'll walk firmly over peas or trip up like women and whether they'll ooh and ah over spinning wheels like women or ignore them like men. 

·         The "huntsmen" pass all the tests and become the king's best bros. 

·         When the disguised princess learns that the wedding is about to take place, she swoons, causing the king to examine her closely enough to recognize her. 

·         He renounces his new betrothed and takes her back.

Since we had missed the 4WD group when they were here signing the log earlier in the AM, we made this our last stop. We looked at GZ then expanded our search. It was close to dark so we had to use our TOTTs but didn't want to attract too much attention at this busy intersection. We were glad though we were away from the road. Finally the huggle spotted it on the other side of the tiny meadow. Time to go pick up the truck & head back south.
