Map and Geocache Preparation
I spent tonight working on two things that are vital to the upcoming adventure.
1. The topographical map of the Thompson Mountain area. I cannot emphasize how important it is to have a good map and to know how to read it. I have all of the waypoints from the previous trips as well as some that were specially created for this trip. We should have no excuse for getting lost.
2. The geocache for the top of Thompson Mountain. I have decided the theme of this cache needs to be survivalism related. To that end, I have stocked it full of some survival related items. I still need something good for the First To Find. Do you have any ideas for what I should put in there?
Tomorrow night, I'm packing totes with the gear I'll need on the trip. This guy has tons of checklists for camping, so I'll be using his website for inspiration.
