Leave it to Dave Castro to start the Games off with a surprise flight to San Jose.

After gathering the athletes together at 3:30AM with a simple packing list, Castro let them know exactly one thing: they're going to LAX and will be flying somewhere.

Over the next hour or so, there were lots of guesses about where they'd end up.

The boarding passes gave everyone a pretty good idea though.

So now we know the athletes are flying from Los Angeles to San Jose, and will likely get bussed the 45-50 minutes from San Jose to Aromas, where the Games first started in 2007. 

The Ranch in Aromas holds a lot of history for the Games and it's very likely we'll see a handful of old school events from the Ranch era repeated today. Here are all the events that took place at the Ranch:
