Snow camping

Last Thursday my boy scout troop went snow camping.  We had been preparing for over a month.  I had all my gear in a backpack and a duffle bag.  When we got there we loaded up the sleds and we each walked with one to the camp witch was about a mile away.  There was tons of snow so it was hard hiking in.  When we got there we set up camp in a hurry because we were running out of daylight.      It was so tiring.  All my friends and I slept in a 6 man tent.  When we were done it was pretty much night time.  So we built a fire and had hot dogs and chicken patties.  It was the best hot dog I had ever had.  It was so nice by the fire, if you walked away from the fire you would instantly feel the cold.  When we went to sleep we tired to stay up as long as we could because the longer you stay up the warmer you'll get.  The next day was awesome, James my friend and I woke up at 7:00 and had breakfast (eggs in a bag).  Then we went exploring.  We found a stream that was half way frozen,  a bridge that was buried in snow and a frozen lake.  But we did not walk on it because it was cracking.  When we were walking back we found an Igloo!!  It was so cool.  When we got inside it was super warm.  When we got back we sat around camp and had lunch witch was cup n noodles.  Then we all went to a big hill and built sledging tracks and built holes in the hill and had snow ball fight.  We were at the hill pretty much the rest of the day.  When we got back to camp my dad arrived with Reece and Joe!!!!!!!!!!  We showed Joe everything we had found and all our secret hide outs including the igloo.  That night dinner was Mountain house and tortuous   When we went to bed we all woke up to it snowing!!!  It was not snowing that hard but it was also super windy.  When we woke up we packed are stuff and put the sleds together and hiked pack to the cars.  Then we said good bye and ever one went home except for my Dad,Reece and me.  We went to Bear valley ski resort.  It was so fun to finally snow board.  We did tons of runs and then we had lunch.  At the lunch place we found our scout leader!!  He said that one of the cars had broke down.  He told us if we could finish snow boarding a little early then you could pick us up and take us to the place the car was towed.  So we picked them up and drove to in and out to have dinner and then we drove home.
