Crew of 4Schoodic Woods campHome to Natick Monday night
Two days, two islands, one night under a sky that looks like this. Tap a stop on the map, check things off as you go, and keep your eyes on the water.
Not to scale, but the shapes are right. Orange stops are Sunday on the Schoodic Peninsula. Blue stops are Monday on Mount Desert Island. Tap a stop.
Tap the circle when a stop is done. Each device keeps its own checkmarks, so you can each run your own copy.
Three jobs before the car leaves the driveway. Check each item when it is actually done, not when you plan to do it.
This is the crew's trail food for both days. You build it, you bag it, you carry it. Makes about 10 cups, enough for four people and two hikes.
Five hours up, five hours back. Road bingo works with no signal. Tap a square when you spot it. Five in a row wins, and the middle square is free.
About a thousand questions, everyone plays at their own level, and a reward meter that promises everything.
Call out every state you see. Maine, New Hampshire and Massachusetts are worth one point. Anything else is worth three. Canada is worth five. Keep score out loud; the driver is the judge.
One person thinks of something we will see on this trip: an animal, a food, a thing at camp, a place on the map. Everyone else gets twenty yes-or-no questions to guess it.
Someone starts a story with one sentence about a porpoise who moves to Natick. Each person adds one sentence. The story ends when the car stops.
One person opens the Map tab and asks the others: what happens at Blueberry Hill? What time do we have to leave Jordan Pond? Which stop is a fin watch spot? Get all three and you pick the next snack.
Facts you can use to sound like you planned this trip.
