Today

Well I see I havent posted anything on here for a few days so I was gonna tell you about my day at school but it was pretty uneventfull. So I guess I could tell you all about the hike I went on on the weekend with 8 guys from my youth group. I left early Saturday morning and we drove to Seymour where we snowshoed for about 45 minutes up the mountain until we found a nice level spot to set up camp. There was about 7 feet of snow where we camped so it was pretty tuff to walk around without snow shoes. After setting up camp we went on about a 4 hour snowshoe hike up some nearby mountains and did lots of snowshoe skiing and just jumping off hills into the deep snow. Afterwards we made dinner and dug a big snow cave that was about 7 or 8 feet deep in the side of a small hill and tried to stay warm in it. After the cold night where the temperatures dropped to about -8 degrees we had dinner, packed up, and hiked back down the mountain. It was pretty fun even if I did lose a leg and my pinky on my left hand to frost bite.
