DescriptionThere are several parts to this activity, but the core is that we bury something and several years later we dig it up
BasicsWe find some items we think would be significant, including perhaps a letter to your future self. They are loaded in the capsule which is buried with some pomp and circumstance.
Hopefully 5 years later, we dig it up so you can see what you sent yourself.
Why is this something we want to do?It's always fun to get a message in a bottle even from yourself.
Variations:None Submitted
Preparations:Campers need to be prepared for a hike on a steep slope. Equipment should be carried which allows the safe collection of candles at the end of the hike. This includes flashlights, thick gloves, and appropriate containers.
