SUMMARY:Walk to the Top Scavenger Hunt
DESCRIPTION:Our popular annual Walk to the Top is a great time of year for our community to welcome in the new year\, enjoying our area’s spectacular weather! This year it is not possible for our members to gather together in our usual fashion assembled behind our great yellow banner with our eager pets accompanying us. Instead\, we would like to invite you to take an independent walk to the top of Mt. Helix by January 31\, 2021. \nTo add to the adventure\, we have designed a Scavenger Hunt for the whole family to locate interesting Mt. Helix features along the way. Bring your activity sheet\, and join the adventure! Walk from the fire station to the top of Mt. Helix any time between now and January 17. Take a photo of your group at the top\, plus a photo of your completed Scavenger Hunt Activity Sheet\nand email them to yourgmianeighbor@gmail.com. Be sure to identify your participants. With your permission\, we will publish some of the photos in the next Viewpoints newsletter\, on the GMIA Facebook page and on our website. Even if you don’t find all the items\, you will be automatically entered into a drawing for a free year of GMIA membership just by submitting your photos. Answers to the quiz questions can be found here. \nAlthough we will miss the excitement of over 200 of our GMIA members making the trek together\, we trust you will enjoy this year’s version of the Walk to the Top and find the Scavenger Hunt a rewarding holiday activity for the whole family. Watch out for traffic and stay safe! \nScavenger Hunt Activity Sheet \nScavenger Hunt Answers \nPhoto Album
