Medieval Chamber

So it begins . . . . the first adventure of 2011! We got invited to go do Medieval Chamber with a friend from work and her group of friends! I was worried about the frigid, arctic temperatures, and how one would sleep while falling slowly into hypothermia, but we made it. It wasn't as cold as I thought, and it was a great group of people. It was really fun, and it was my first slot canyon in the snow, I loved it so much, I am ready for another adventure. During the night, the temperature got down below 10 degrees, and we encountered some obstacles along the way, some from our own doing, and others just from the canyon itself! It was great, can't wait for the next adventure!

The snow was so weird looking, but pretty

One of my favorite moments of the day, fearless Nate, decided to slide down the rocks onto the ice. He took a step, didn't even hesitate, and he jumped and slid down hit the ice, and cracked open the big ole' pothole. Unfortunately, there were still a handful of us on the top waiting to come down, so the boys set up a zip line to help us across the frigid waters!

My second favorite part of the day, as the last man comes down the zip line, and all the fellas are on the ice, we hear a loud crack, and everyone is screaming, and the boys are left hanging for dear life on the zip line. Don't worry, nobody fell in, but if you look closely, you might wonder how did Chris avoid not falling it!
