Scavenger Hunt for the 

PINE MOUNTAIN TRAIL

The idea is to have a child mark on the "Scavenger Hunt" sheet below what they see as they walk on the trail. It is ok to have them collect things such as the pinecone and hickory nuts.

The large Chestnut Oak acorns can get up to 1 ½" long. Some pine cones of up to 10" high have been found. The WHITE, RED and BLUE marks on trees mark the trails and are "blazes". The "hunt" will surprise you as to how children will look for stuff and move along quickly. Consider a prize to one who finds the biggest of something (especially if you have two children along) or marks the most things on the list. Advise the children they will not see everything on the list. And yes, it is ok for adults to play along too!
