Swag bag flyers printed and cut, ready to drop off today. Equipment acquired from Mary. Next up:
* Select the ten nicest flags, update map with their codes * Print maps * Give Jeff equipment tomorrow at work * Decide whether or not to make up discount coupons as prizes * Add dry erase board to equipment pile. And markers, if they still work. * Maybe make up an email list signup sheet
Thought about trying to get laptop, then decided maybe it would be easier for the hosts not to worry about it, and find power for it, etc.
It should all work out in time. Should.....

Good company, but not a super productive mission. White and green map colors were not great predictors of vegetation. I am shooting for an "all awesome, all the time" style of control placement, and my carefully chosen spots were about 25% okay, 75% nope. :|
That "four hours max" to scout comment on one of the threads is a joke, unless you have the park dialed or your woods are all awesome.
I may have to go back, just go on a long hike, and look for the things I want, rather than starting with any sort of plan.
Also I was a bit sloppy and off my game; hopefully Saturday goes more smoothly.
