Today started with a beautiful walk on a trail. Right? Wrong.
It wasn’t just any walk on a trail it was a tree scramble scavenger hunt.
Scavenger hunts really take a toll on every piece of your body. You need to
have a clever mind and all four limbs of your body. Here are some helpful steps
to get you through the hunt!
Step 1: Apply a hefty amount of sunscreen and bug spray.
This step is crucial because of the massive mosquitos on the
trail and the exposure to harmful sun rays. Unless you want to look like a
puffy lobster, apply these items every hour. Set yourself up for success.
Step 2: Go through and find all the answers as quickly as
possible.
Try to maintain a quick walking pace to get to each place
smoothly and swiftly. Sometimes the trails are rocky and uneven so be careful!
Step 3: When you’ve found all the answers go back to Dr. Z and
see if they are correct.
While you are going back, start to unscramble the words. If
you can’t figure out the word you’re probably wrong so just wait and see what
she says.
Step 4: Run around frantically because you only have one
wrong answer.

This step is suspenseful because by this time almost
everyone has only one wrong answer. So it is a fight for the finish. On the
bright side you’ll get your exercise in for the day. Try all the
trees you think might be the answer. As you sit and think about what tree it
could be check out the land crabs in their homes or the occasional butterfly
flying by. They are so pretty.
The scavenger hunt was definatley not easy! It was hot and sweaty and everyone was running around to try and get the answer first for that prime single kayak. Our group had the same problem and was only missing one word and we never got it right until the very end, which was disappointing.
ReplyDeleteThis is so funny! That's exactly how I felt when we all had that one answer left to find. I still don't know which trail the sea lavender was on. We checked so many trails and even attempted to go down that really long and winding one without success. It was a fun little activity to do though and sharing a kayak was nice too!
