Happy Marooned Without a Compass Day
The event will be at Depot Park and there is pavilion should it start raining. There is parking in town or off Depot Road.
I am having a 2nd event of the week as some who are doing the 52 week challenge may not be able to make the CITO on Nov. 1st. So whats more appropiate then Marooned Without a Compass Day for a geocacher. See if you can find this event without the help of a GPS by using...GULP yes an old paper map. Attendees will receive a compass but I cannot guarantee its accuracy
Marooned Without a Compass Day can be interpreted a few ways, but is dedicated to being lost or stuck somewhere without a compass. The day can be looked at as a challenge, where people purposely get lost and try to find their way back to civilization without a compass. The day can also be looked at as a day to get out into the wilderness and unplug from technology and just relax.
How to Observe
Come to the event or celebrate the day by getting out into nature, possibly by going for a hike. If you are up for the challenge you could try to find your way without a compass. This could also be a day to think about what you bring with you if you were marooned somewhere and couldn't get back home. If you could bring three things with you, what would they be?
