Yurt Camp - Saturday AM

Our yurt was responsible for breakfast. This camp was being done as a leadership project for a different troop. They had already bought all the food, and everything was more or less there & ready to go. Each yurt of girls was responsible for a meal. Diana helped with making pancakes. Renee & Mary arranged the tables & set the places. After breakfast, the same group also did clean up. The nice thing was, once this was done, they were free for the rest of the weekend with meals!

After breakfast, we took out the GPS Lee gave me for Christmas to see if we could figure out how to use it. After managing to get enough satellites to do a 3D fix, we were able to figure out how to input our location, and the coordinates for the first cache we were going to try to find.

On the way, we found a salamandar in the road, so we had to rescue it. It already had a broken tail.

Diana held the GPS for most of the driving. We got out at the lighthouse & tried walking a bit, but found we were still too far away to walk there. We decided to go back to the yurts because it was almost lunchtime anyway.

The girls were putting on makeup so they could look "80's" but then we were pulled in to eat before they got to practice their song in rock style. And then we had to wait for lunch, because it wasn't quite ready anyway - best laid plans!

And Diana didn't get any makeup done on her, just in case you were wondering...
