Haggered

My best friend Jaelynn came down this weekend to visit me and she made me realize what this town can do to you on a Saturday night. Enough said she might have broken her tail bone and lost her voice. We headed down to The Brick House and got hooked up with the best nachos ever (by the best staff ever). We played pool with some miners at the Fernie and danced to techno at Bulldogs to end the night. Needless to say this town will wrap its arms around you and give you a wet willy so you just better hold on tight and enjoy it.

Delayed Delay

After not having internet for A MONTH I let my blog slide... But it is back and running and I hope you continue following my adventure. A lot has happened in a month so I will make a point form list of what major events have been going on:
  • I have learned how to use a topographic map and compass to navigate around the Rockies.
  • The class went on a five day backpacking trip but was snowed out on day four! 
  • We have spent the last week learning climbing knots, anchors, and mountaineering safety. Can you tie a munter hitch?
  • At all breaks at least half the class is in our climbing gym bouldering and creating climbing routes such as "Jersey Shore" that requires "The Situation" abs.
