Winter Camping Activities
Of course there's the snowshoeing and sitting around... but winter camping means keeping busy, and camping with the guys means doing stupid things. Honestly, does this surprise anyone?
1) SnowBall Wars: Like the old videogame 'Tank Wars', we headed out to the lake and stood in a big circle. We took turns hucking snowballs at each other and to keep from getting hit, you had to plant your feet in the snow and dodge shots by shifting your weight.
2) Packing snow on the Igloo: Not so much of a game... until I railed Deyo with a shovelful of snow.
3) Dutch Slingshot: Really, it's just normal slingshot, but you're shooting empty Heineken cans filled with water. Next time, I won't bring rocks that are so big... and I won't put the cans so far away. Brian had a knack for this game (hitting his second shot EVERY TIME), but I killed the two cans. Brian, that makes me the better man.
At one point, there was a discussion about how we could safely fill the igloo with propane and blow it to kingdom come, but cooler heads prevailed... and we put it off to next year. Now THAT would make for some great video.
