Scavenger Hunt Recap

At the recent scavenger hunt, Lightswitch broke up into four teams of seven and one team of eight to run across Washington, D.C. like idiots all for the sake of fun, fellowship, and Curt’s personal pleasure. Through the smog of humidity teams ran, walked, and dragged themselves to win the race. Alex’s “Team We Should Have Won” knew who was on their team before Curt finished giving instructions and was out the door before the other teams even formed.

Though “Team We Should Have Won” ran hard, and sweated profusely, their racing out the door with their Russian Metro man was all Tony’s “Team We Did Win” needed as inspiration to make the actual win. Everyone was on the same page as they left the church, they wanted to win, and more than that, they wanted “Team We Should Have Won” to lose.

Highlights for some included the time of encouragement (to those who actually got to it) and doing the song and dance on the Metro. While for others it was finding various ways to use Curt’s face for humorous purposes such as rapping to it, using it to find a lost brother or son, or turning it into a “Wanted” ad.

Afterwards they all returned from the race, some by bus, some by train, and some running still believing that they could win, even when facing the reality of utter and complete failure. Team “We Should Have Won” arrived sweating, panting, and singing just a little while after “Team We Did Win” had arrived back after a day of rushed walking interspersed with bathroom breaks and sushi duckings. Eric’s “Team We Weren’t Sure if We Wanted to Win” soon trailed in followed by Jacob’s “Team We Have Jacob, He’s in a Kilt” and lastly followed by Jeremy’s “Team We Like Rasberry Lemonade.”

Overall it was a fun day of bonding, sweating, screaming about swelling feet, and enjoying the fact that by God’s grace, it is good to be together no matter the weather and no matter who wins or loses.
