Snow Camp

Two weeks ago we went camping near Loman, Idaho. And it was very cold that night, and got down to around 13 degrees. But me and Dad were still fine. We slept in snow caves. And the next morning we had 1 new inch of snow and had a very good breakfast. That afternoon we built a sledding track (like the luge), and a scout (Chris) had a crash (but he was okay). Then we helped build a new snow cave out of snow blocks. It was a very cold night but a fun camp. We kept warm by sleeping in poly pro and inside two sleeping bags.




This was our snow cave (the top of it).


This is Dad and me getting ready for bed. I was totally bundled up.



Me helping to build a new snow cave. We made snow blocks with a snow saw and a machete, and then stacked the blocks to make an igloo. It was a lot of fun.

Wow Braden - what a fun adventure! I only wish we had that much snow at our winter camps here in Illinois! You are very lucky to have such a great dad to take you!
