And so it begins...

Today many things got done that needed to get done.  The day started off with the I-Corps loading up and getting out to the Craig Branch area to set the tool caches.  This gave the operations, Communications, and even the transportation a chance to test out their functions and see how they would fare with when all of the participants come to SummitCorps.

Once the I-Corps were out at the sites they divided up the tools and started to take them out to the sites they are needed at once participants get here.

They then started out towards the GPS coordinates they were given where each tool cache must be near.

Now when we went out to find the stakes it was not so easy as walking along the path, many times we got lost along the way and had to use orienteering skills that we learned to find our way back to the main roads.

Once we found our site we needed to make a tool burrito to keep the tools out of the rain until participants get here. 

With all of the extra tools a branch cache was made near Drop Point 7 but they had to be packed in their own burrito so the I-Corps banded together to make one last burrito before heading back to base for dinner.

This dinner was not a normal dinner but a special dinner as it was the last being cooked for us by the cooking staff before the OA cooking staff came onto base to cook, so the I-Corps gave a think you to the ladies for all their delicious food.

 While the I-Corps were out in the field work did not stop at camp but happened faster and faster. The shows have been preparing and preparing, operations has put up their screen in the drill hall for all indoors and the OA cook staff had moved into their new home.

Later this evening the Staff had a meeting where we met all of our leaders and our incident commanders, they all stressed saftey and HAVE FUN!!!
