Snowshoe 2

Image
Getting our snowshoes on - it was snowing and cold…just what we wanted!

Image
Seth and Austin ready to get out there

Image
Crystal and Brandton coming up the trail

Image
Ezra and Aaron gazing over the frozen lake


Image
You know the snow is deep when you have to dig down to find the trail signs

Image
Colvin (yellow) and Austin

Image

Image
Baxter (red) and Seth (in the black)

Image
When you see a big rock covered in snow…it is required that you climb it

Image
Behold "Snow"

Image
The troop hiking up the trail

Image
You know it's a big Snow-cave if Ezra or Seth can fit in it

Image
Our Snow-cave champion!

Image
Deklan checking it out

Image
Colvin decided he wanted his cave to collapse on him (look carefully and you can see his feet)

Image
Colvin digging out

Image
So we are on a big rock with lots of deep snow all around…should we jump?

The landing area

Image
Deklan launching off the rock...

Red Feather Lakes Winter Campout

Image
Bishop's sweet tent (that the leader's had the privilege of using).

Image
Strong men setting up camp.

Image
Camp set up and ready to go.

Image
What is it about boys climbing on rocks?  We just can't get enough of them.

Image
What happens when you get to close to the edge of the ice?  If you are not sure just ask Ezra, he can fill you in on the details (hint: you end up being wet and cold).

Image
Just chillin'.

Image
Striking a pose on some rocks.

Image
Is that a hockey stick or a gun?  The scouts seemed to be a little confused.

Image
Relaxing on the rocks.

Image
Deklan taking in some alone time.
Image
Quite the view...

Image
Elias, EJ, and Bishop

Image
Colvin warming up by the fire.

Image
Trying to get warm in the morning.

Image
Breakfast prep.

Image
Trecking across the lake

Image
So it was a little freaky walking on the ice especially when it was clear and you could see the water below (even though it was over a foot thick).
Image
Bishop taking a closer look at the ice.

Finishing it up with some ice hockey.
