Green Team 2

So today was another day back on Cushetunk Mountain (yes, it is spelled right, silly spell check :P). We hiked up as usual, stopping for our stretch circle along the way. The stretch circle question: What was the first CD that you ever bought? Needless to say, there were some interesting answers.

Anyway, we made our way to the cache and split up into groups. I was on fill crew with Scot, Brian, and Doug. The entire mountain is like one massive rock, so it was difficult to find a good fill hole, but we did what we could. After snack time, I was with Karah, Doug, and Brian working on the rock "gymboree" (I think that was what Brian dubbed it). Doug and Brian experimented a bit and were able to set 2 rocks in less than 10 minutes or something like that (magic). After lunch we had a discussion about drainage, water bars, rock bars, all that good stuff. We got back to Hoffman's Park a bit early, so we played Spread 'Em, a great game introduced to us by Doug from the great Idahoans (I didn't even know that was a word until today).

Random fact: 25 people have died in Round Valley Reservoir (Cushetunk Mountain overlooks this reservoir) since 1971 & 6 have never been found. It's been said that it's the Bermuda Triangle of New Jersey.
