Winter Camping and exploring Narnia.

Lately I have been pretty stir crazy. Just always being inside. Ive been in the kitchen for two months and besides snowboarding I just haven't done any hiking or really anything outside. So Brady Carter and I decided we would go do some winter camping. I haven't done any winter camping before and Brady took me on some serious camping.

We went on this past monday night. left at 10 pm hiked up sheep mountain to the summer lunch site that kids all hike up to. It was only one mile away and in the summer an easy 30 minute hike. However with three feet of snow on the ground it took us about 2 hours before we hit our camp site. I snowshoed and Brady used his skis with skins. Skins are basically cloth on the bottom of his skis that give him traction. We had to dig out the inside of the cabin.


We built ourselves a fire and boiled some water to put in water bottles and keep in our sleeping bags. It was super warm once we got into the bags but
                                                                    

outdoor temp was about -15 according to the weather report. We just enjoyed the outdoors and a moon filled night. The mountains on the backside of sheep were beautiful and I just really felt close to the Lord. In the morning the sun woke me up and I just went out of the cabin that didnt have a door on it (by the way). I spent some time with the Lord just praying for my fellow interns and other things that were on my heart. It was an incredibly way to start the day. Brady woke up late and We went over to the side of the mountain that was treeless and planned on snowboarding and skiing down.

Snowboarding back country (or slightly back country) Is TOUGH. I did okay but having an extra 50 pounds on my back wasnt helping and I fell a few times getting myself stuck in like 4 feet of powder (Im not complaining about the amount of snow it just was hard to get out of.) The whole experience was awesome. Brady and I will be doing some more while we are still out here.  I will be switching departments to Guest services next week and that will be my last rotation before I get my summer Job. Pray for the leadership team deciding Summer jobs and that I will be excited about the job they decide for me.
