After finishing the bean challenge, the teams were given a clue to their next destination. The clue was to look up scriptures - book, chapter, verse, word. So for instance, they had 3 Nephi 11:15:20 so in the 15th verse they would count to the 20th word and write down the first letter of that word. Eventually they had all these letters to unscramble and it spelled out Sugarhouse Park. All teams went there for a mandatory 45 minute lunch break. The lunch was provided by our awesome RS presidency.
Our blue team planning for the next challenges.
The next set of challenges were all "detours" - a choice between 2 tasks. The first detour was "pitchers or pyros."
The orange team, pictured above, was the only team to do pyros. They had to build a fire with only 2 sheets of newspaper and only 3 matches. Once they had a fire going they had to bring 1 cup of water to boil.
All the other teams chose pitchers - they had to alternately take turns as a team throwing horse shoes until one team member got a ringer.
The next detour was "hike or bike" The teams could either put together a bike and then have one team member ride it around the 1 1/2 mile trail. For hike, the team had to carry a 50 pound sand bag around the trail and each team member had to carry the bag by themselves for at least 2 minutes. All the teams did the bike challenge except for the red team and they carried the sand bag. All the teams worked together great. We were so proud of our kids. We really didn't much complaining and they all helped each other and helped other teams. The biggest challenge was probably dealing with the heat.
