Jack of All Trades, Wednesday, Per 1
"A'ight, so let's get somethin' clear," Hardison said, standing in front of a portal. "I ain't one for the Great Outdoors. If we'd'a been meant to spend a lot of time outside, we ain't never would have invented video games an' the internet." Somewhere, Eliot was hitting his head against the wall and had no idea why. Okay, that's not true, he probably knew exactly why: somewhere, somehow, Hardison was doing something to annoy him. "But not everyone sees these logically, an' there are whole sports an' activities devoted to bein' outside. Where the bugs are."
Look, you guys were getting an outdoor class, but it was going to come with Opinions whether you liked it or not. "Fortunately, some of 'em at least use enough tech to make it easier to forget you're trampin' around in the woods, where the air smells funny, an' there are probably racist, right-wing militias waitin' around to kidnap you." Because that's what happened when you were outside! "One of those activities is Geochachin', which combines the fun of a treasure hunt with useful skills like orienteerin' an' map-readin' an...I dunno, stuff like that. Trail-blazin', maybe?"
Again, entirely not his bag. "Since this is class an' you're supposed to be learnin' stuff, we're goin' old-school today." Look at his disappointment, class. Look at it. "Rather than downloadin' coordinates to your GPS an' sendin' you out to find the exact location of the cache, we're gonna do this like it's 1986." He started handing out packs. Inside those packs were maps, along with compasses, canteens of water, binoculars, pencils and water-resistant pads, and several othermoddable useful items. "There are a list of coordinates on your pad. Each coordinate can be found in the area on your map. It's up to you to figure out how to turn the coordinates into points on the map, then to read the map well enough to figure out how to get to those caches. You do it right, there's be a cache filled with goodies an' stuff for y'all to keep. Ready? Any questions?"
Once he'd answered any questions they had, it was off through the portal, which led them to Rock State Park.
