     2. Visit the Trailhead counters to pick up a physical map of this route -- or create your own.

     3. Collect conversation guide at the Trailhead to guide your vendor discussion.

     4. Speak with at least two vendors on your route using at least 2 of the questions provided.

     5. Return to Booth #2269 to share what you learned.
