Last minute FGL reminders / weather status / food to bring!

HI!!!  In less than 24 hrs, we’ll be on the road to GA!  Some quick reminders:

— Meet tomorrow morning at Grace at 8:30 am.  We’re picking up the van at 9 am on Lantana Rd.  Will load up & head out.  Apx’ly 9 hr trip, so have books to read/games to play, etc.

— Weather prediction is for RAIN & thunderstorms thru Wed.  Bring a poncho or rain suit, extra socks, an extra pair of shoes, multiple plastic bags for wet stuff, a clothes line rope to hang wet stuff & a GOOD ATTITUDE!  Good news is that it will make things cooler.  Highs are predicted in the 80’s & lows in the 60’s (good sleeping weather we hope!).  Don’t forget FANS & BUG SPRAY!  I spoke with the Director today, and she said the weather forecasts are often wrong & to be prepared for lots of weather changes.

—  FOOD — each Scout needs to bring lunch for Saturday, a full water bottle, and an extra drink for the trip up to GA.  We’ll get pizzas once there for Sat night dinner, and go to the Walmart on the way in to buy food supplies for Sun bkf & Sun lunch (they start feeding us Sun evening).
