 Saturday, October 4, 2025 at Skimikin Lake.  10 AM start.  Details on how everything works is in the attachment.

It would be helpful if kids could pre-plan their teams and team names, but there will also be time to put together teams at the start.

The event is 90 minutes.  It should run from about 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM which allows some time at the beginning and end for organizing and results.  Bring a watch or other device to keep track of time!

Please arrive at the start/finish no later than 10:00 AM (9:45 would be better) - we hope to start the clock as soon as groups are organized.

We met with the Skimikin caretaker and there are a few requests:

1. Don’t park in any campsites.  She will charge you for the site!

2. Parking is free in the main parking lot (and walk to the start/finish area), along Skimikin road and on the FSR that goes around the lake.

3. If you plan to stay after Mantracker, she suggested that the day use area by the main part of the campsite (east side of the lake) is a bit roomier and nicer.

Always a fun day!
