This is LNT's late crew shift, and it is, first off, awesome. You will be heralded as a champion, included in the Lore of Future Fireflies...or at the very least loved by your campmates. Land sweep volunteers stay an extra day on the land to conduct a Firefly-wide MOOP sweep. We sing, we are merry, we work hard, and we go home tired but laughing. Generally LNT land sweep is finished by 2 or 3 pm. | This is LNT's late crew shift, and it is, first off, awesome.

=== '''Sunday Logistics''' === | |||
'''Tents:''' As a member of late crew, you will be camping on the land an additional night, so you can leave your tent wherever it is from Sunday night through Monday morning at 8 am. We suggest that you pack up as much of your (non-essential) stuff as possible before Monday morning. You must break down your camp and stow all your belongings in a vehicle '''before''' '''8 am on Monday morning'''. (Otherwise sweepers will think your gear is MOOP.) | |||
'''Cars:''' No cars should be left in Lower Parking after Sunday night. Once Exodus for the event is complete on Sunday, please move your car to Upper Parking if you do not have a 4-wheel drive or all-wheel drive vehicle. If you do have 4-wheel or all-wheel drive, you may drive your vehicle up the road and park it near your tent (off of the main road/path but be mindful of vegetation.) | |||
'''Dinner:''' LNT potluck (location TBD). Please bring food to share if you have it! | |||
=== '''Monday Logistics''' === | |||
'''Morning meeting:''' We will meet at 8 am (location TBD) for breakfast and LNT land sweep overview/instructions. Note that all your belongings must be in a vehicle before the start of this meeting. | |||
'''Lunch:''' Lunch is provided and will likely be pizza. If you have dietary needs, please let us know in advance. | |||
'''Ending:''' We generally finish up around 3 pm. There is often an opportunity to help out with DPW breakdown tasks afterwards if you have energy left, but this is entirely optional. | |||
