I am saving all your photos in case you forgot all the stuff you did while you are their; I believe I will copy that other teacher and print out your journal for my students. ½ of me says that bucket-head experience was a way to warm up but 3/4 of me says it was a white-out experience stimulator.
I am going back to work (in my classroom) today (Thursday) if that makes you envious, well I understand; as soon as the temp rises above zero anyway. Thank-you so much for the detailed explanations and photos of snow surviving school, I even woke up Michele to get her to look at the photos.
Did you have those way cool light weight camper stoves?
I assume the visibility was good enough that you were never in (too much) danger on your long hike?
Was the walking the “crunch crunch” of a thin layer of snow on ice or the “goosh goosh” of sinking deep into the snow with each step, which I assume took more effort?
I keep telling myself this is a cold desert.
I suppose it is difficult to judge distance when everything is white?
Thank-you again for making all this possible for all of us back here and there!
