Search and Rescue Peel Forest Styles

So the basic gist of it is that about a decade ago a plane crashed in Peel Forest. The plane and the body were never recovered. It is fairly dense forest with a lot of shrubs etc.

Some mathematical genius type man from up north (who incidentally was not as old as I expected) has gone over all sorts of maps, charts etc and thinks he has sussed out the area in which it crashed. Apparently he has done this sort of thing before and been successful. The police etc also were due for a search and rescue exercise and it all kind of tied in together, amalgamating in a huge search and rescue exercise in Peel Forest. (For more info, click here to go to a news site). Haven't heard yet if they have found anything, but it definitely would be cool to have an outcome like that at the end of the exercise.

So then the Salvation Army Emergency Services in Timaru got the catering job, which is where I got involved. I am pretty knackered ... getting up well before dawn to get breakfast on tables by 6am, and then I came home late last night because I was leading the meeting and preaching this morning. (Which I think went pretty well by all accounts.)

Above: It took a little while to get used to the large number of cops around.
Above: When the Iroquois was having a break, the kids got to have a little sit in it. They were so stoked and I can pretty confidently say it made their day.
