March 16 - Preparing for the Overnight

3/16/15 (Lunch to Night)
After our delicious lunch, we learned how to pack our packs  and what to pack in them. We also chose what course we were going to take on the overnight.We decided to hike to a lean-to that was close to the summit and set up camp. The next morning we would climb to the summit and descend to the base of Pok-O-Moonshine. After deciding on a course a few of the girls (Alexa, Amelia, Luisa, and Maddi) went outside to practice snowshoing before our big trek. At 5:30, we all settled in for dinner and we had corned beef and cabbage in honor of Saint Patrick's Day. After dinner, we got some popcorn and we all cuddled on the couches while we watched Small Farm Rising (a documentary about local farms in the area). The girls then ended the night with a fun game of Mafia.

We listened intently as Tree explained what we would need for our night on the trail.


Shannon prepared a special cheese cake dessert for Kennedi's 15th Birthday. Happy Birthday, Kennedi. (Candles compliments of Mr. Nickel.)
