::crosses fingers corf lots and lots of snow::
so..this wekend i went up to plp (poconoc lake perserve where my grandmother has a house) with my mom and brother..hmm..the highlights:
-there wasn't a lot of snow,,but its very beautiful
-the lake is frozen..and ice makes the erriest sounds when the temp. is changing..it literally groans
-fallen trees and branches all over the place because of this ice storm they had up there
-feeling very isolated on friday because we were only one of a few people there..but more came on sunday
- countingthe occupied camps by the number that had smoke coming out of the chimney
- driving past all the camps and seeing the ominous red freeze light through the window
-trying the light a fire, but having the smoke come into the camp and setting of the fire alarm, because when we thought the damper was open, it really wasn't
-"who wants to try not to fall into the icy cold water first?"
-trusting two ice patches to take my weight and falling in getting my foot all wet
-trying to follow the powerline trail to our camp, but ending up at the toby
-slipping on ice patches twice in a row
-trying and failing to find the sandpit..we didn't go far enough
-our dog crying whenever my brother was driving
-trying to follow a trial, but almost getting lost a number of times, because a lot of the markers were either worn away or on trees that had een knocked down
-seeing people ice fishing or something in the middle of the lake, but my mom not letting us go out on it..
-not having any running water, even though the person at the office told us that all the camps had water..
-playing global pursuit and beating both my mom and brother..as chris said it is practice for academic challenge next yr.
-watching fast runner on chris's ibook..it is an interesting movie considering that it tells the lives of the inuits..but it gets rather long and repetitive, but then again a guess that's what their lives are..my mom saing that they better have paid the actor well that had to run across the ice naked..some other inuits had atacked his tent and forced him to run away across the ic, befre he was able to get dressed..
-i think our furnace is trying to die...."nooo.."/...it was 12 degress friday night
we unfortuanately came home early , because my mom wanted to miss the storm, and not get stuck...it would have been so cool to have seen the lake and toby in an ice/snow storm...
