Wolf Ridge update

Andrew survived Wolf Ridge. He had extremely bitter cold when he was there. The highest temperature they had during the 3 days he was there was 3 degrees and the lowest was -30. They don't stop activities for anything up there, they were outside like normal in that bitter cold. He got to do some really fun activities:
  • outdoor survival class
  • rock climbing
  • adventure ropes, where you scale across two ropes 30 feet above the ground, and in the dark - they did that one in the evening
  • hiking in the snow 2 miles, and up and down 254 stairs twice
  • made dreamcatchers, which he used for a basketball hoop
  • snowshoeing
He had a nice ride up and back in a coach bus. Four years ago when Jess went they took the school bus and a trailer. This was much nicer. He took some pictures, but he had to use a disposable camera so he has a few more pictures to take before we can get them developed.
