Water is Cold

Well I'm writing this blog a day late because we were so busy yesterday, but it was the Loup Loup climb.

I've been climbing with the boys all week basically (and Stephanie) because it is just harder to climb slow. At my pace we climb for over an hour and a half so to slow down and struggle for over two hours.

After the climb we found a river with a rapid of sorts following a long sand bar. Only problem, the river was freezing! But we pretended to be salmon and did it anyways. The current was real strong.




Then we entered a town called Winthrop where everything looked like it was from the old west. Leaving there, sam had a flat. It was Nolan, sam and I and as soon as Nolan said it was a shark tooth that caused the flat I knew we were in for a good final 13 miles.

At the camp site, we took a bath in the river - just as cold as the first, and put our milk in there to keep it cold over night.

We spent the majority of the night reviewing grants and determining how much money each group should get. I am definitely partial to grants that have a unique project over grants that are just building homes.




Stats of the Day:

Total Mileage: 63.42

I forgot to write down the others.
