AmeriBlog: Scavengingless Scavenger Hunt

This morning started off really exciting. We (the Sun unit) had a Campus Standards meeting. Vaughn, our Unit Leader, basically just went through the handbook with all the rules and disciplinary procedures and everything. He is super nice and pretty funny, but even he couldn't make this fun. (I just remembered that sarcasm doesn't work well with words on a page. Seriously, it was extremely boring.)

Then we had a scavenger hunt in downtown Denver. I had heard the point was to get us familiar with the train system, which I used Saturday and Sunday, and to familiarize us with the 16th Street pedestrian mall area, which I went to Saturday and Sunday. I never heard the first "clue," but the answer was to get off the train at the same stop I used Saturday and Sunday. The next clue was to go to the building with the large gold dome, which is the Colorado capital building. It turns out we had tours scheduled. How convenient! Our guide was named Simon, and he started out the tour by saying that he doesn't usually give tours, and he only does it when he has to. Um, awesome. He was pretty much the most awkward tour guide ever. The capital building was pretty nice, and we got to climb lots of stairs to go into the dome part.

After that, I guess there were supposed to be more clues, but our team leader (Sarah, who is awesome) just showed us the stuff we were supposed to see. Then we came back to campus. Not the most exciting day ever, but not bad.
