 <\/p>\n

In the Map Challenge file, we share a story to inspire them! \u00a0It starts out like this….<\/p>\n

“When the Coast Guard ship dropped me off at Thunder Cove, on the Island of Many Forms, I knew I had a big job ahead of me. \u00a0I would face many incredible adventures \u2014 and maybe even some desperate dangers! \u2014 on this strange island with its crazy and wonderful landmarks and features! \u00a0But I had to complete my mission. \u00a0On the far side of the island, in the Muggy Marsh on the edge of Hurricane Bay, was the one gadget that could save the world….”<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/h3>\n
