John Muir Share The final challenge of the John Muir award was to share our adventures! For this challenge we went to Ness Woods and took lots of pictures of the plants and scenery which we will use to make a video documenting our John Muir award adventures. We have some really good photographers in the group and photo credits for the two flower pictures above go to Jamie! As well as taking lots of pictures we also did some geo-caching and found two caches.  Geocaching is an outdoor recreational activity, in which participants use a Global Positioning System receiver or mobile device and other navigational techniques to hide and seek containers, called "geocaches" or "caches", at specific locations marked by coordinates all over the world.
