So I along a good pal Carey planned a Scavenger hunt all around Colorado Springs
(These girls in this photo are precious to me and have become my family here.
I am so thankful to God for blessing me with such great friends)
The clues included doing things such as finding a random skateboarder at Memorial Park and taking a picture of them, sending pics to me on my phone from a local ice cream shop, and other such random things.
Running around all over the Springs looking for the next clue.
We split the people into 5 teams, and through my phone freezing, and people running stop lights, getting pulled over for speeding, interrupting
a wedding at Shov Chapel, having the clues blow all around it was still a success. Everyone had fun I think :) Even carey and I had fun and we weren't even playing.
One story from the hunt, one of the clues talked about a brass family that fishes for men, and to think of opposites so we put old muerta ( opposite being young live). Hence the Young Life building here has a brass statue in the front of it. But one team interpreted that as New Life Church which is 20 minutes north of the springs, when they called me I was like oh no. So they were troopers and finished the whole hunt completely even with positive attitudes. So they along with the first team, and of course Rachel all received prizes.
The rest of the night was filled with presents, food, cake, ice cream, beer, rock band, lots of laughter. Thanks again Rach for being born and being my best friend and as close as a sister.
Hope your weekend was fun as mine :)

I actually got pulled over for failing to stop on a right turn...not speeding...thank you very much! Thanks for a fun time!!!
Yeah I have learned as a scavenger hunt admin guy in the past that when a group gets a clue they call me before they drive off to the where they think they need to go, so I can confirm or tell them to keep thinking. I had some go 10-15 minutes out of the way once too.

p.s. the clue was "run to the border!"
