Take a backpack this morning and fill it with a camera (if you have one), some snack food, a water bottle (or a thermos) and a map of your town (if you don’t have a map, obtain one at a local gas station or download one from the Internet).  Then, during the day, go on-line (or to a library) and research your local region for its cultural history and “Sacred Sites.”  Finally, after work/school, “backpack” through your own hometown.  Do “the tourist thing” — asking local townspeople what there is to see or do; getting the local history from the locals … When you get home, be sure to contact three (3) friends &/or associates and tell them something amazing that you learned today about your community.
