Laundry Day

Here we are half way through our journey or converting muggles and enriching the Geocaching world. Over 400 have passed through our training and the feedback so far is all positive. We are running into the odd case where a non-cacher has been told by his buddy about this exciting program and inadvertently has had the cache locations described to them. This of course kind of takes away from the whole experience of discovery for the youth when they have their turn, but the four different courses we are running them through should prevent a lot of this as we close in on the last 500 or so Scouts.

That is if my voice holds out for the last eight classes. One hour of straight presentation 4 times a day was enough, but they have added a class for the adults after dinner yesterday and today, so a total of 5 times a day. We must be doing something right as we manage to keep 5o or so kids awake in the later afternoon heat over 31 degrees inside the presentation tent. On top of that we added a "Firetack" trail for after sundown and are going to run that tonight.

I'm not sure if "vacation time" applies but it certainly has kept us busy. Fortunately no Bear "lock-down"s today so we didn't have to rush anything. I did run into a resident when we ran into town on our two hour lunch break to do laundry, and she told me that the bear is not really a problem, at least not so much as the cougar...or the bobcat. I don't think I'll mention any of that to the camp chief, but it's good to know.

The PJ07 Legacy Cache is up to 6 finds so far! Looks like most are from within the camp and in fact one is the first find for a brand new cacher so our mission here is having an effect.

The whole crew is still energized and enthused so hope the passion for caching is showing through. When the last slide rolls up with the "Same Planet - Different World!" quote, the applause is gratifying and we hope to hear one day from an experienced cacher that the first got started at PJ07.
