adventure

Hey! I've got some adventures to tell you about! (mostly because I don't have much else to write about)

First of all, no classes on Fridays or Mondays gives me plenty of time for adventuring when I''m not reading what seems like hundreds of books or banging my head against the wall because I have no idea what I believe. So, between classes on Thursday, my roommates and I went on a little mountain biking excursion just to find lots of trees fallen over on the trail and a splattering of pine needles that made the wheels just spin and spin so we couldn't get very far. We all had a good fall...with battle wounds to show. The downhill ending was splendid. So exhilarating.

Yesterday, after chapel, one of my professors, and about 5 of us students cleared the trail of fallen trees. Chain saw, axe, rolling trees, knocking trees down...all good...and good for the earth too, I promise. Then after lunch, instead of taking that trail mountain biking, the prof and maybe 7 of us students decided to drive up maybe a thousand feet and take a trail from there back to camp. After driving through snow, we realized the trail we would be riding on would be more or less covered with snow...but we went anyway. So, we ended up kind of walking our bikes several miles through the snow, and trying to ride whenever we had 20 feet of dirt. At least we could all that at the absurdity of it all. BUT...once again, we had a thrilling downhill ending to the ride. (and more battle wounds to show!)


Ok...so those sound kind of lame now...but they were fun...
