Helping Out

Every year, my family and I go to Ocotillo Wells to do my service hours. We take the whole Martin Luther King Jr. weekend off to go camping to the desert. There, the LAFD holds a scavenger hunt and raffle to support widows and orphans. This year's scavenger hunt was 27 miles long. Every year, the scavenger hunt has a different theme and this year, 2018, we had to dig in the sand for poker chips. We ride our dirt bikes through the trail and try to get through all the sites that are set up so we can be entered into the raffle. The rides are really fun because we usually go with friends that we don't see very often. The event is held in the afternoon when everybody is finished riding there dirt bikes and has completed the scavenger hunt. A lot of people attend the event and it gets really crowded. Many people win prizes from the raffle and everybody has a great time.
