Snowshowing near Crazy Women Canyon


Pat Walsh came to Buffalo on January 23rd and outfitted the youth group with snowshoes with which we ascended the mountains, blazed trail near Crazy Women Canyon and tried to build a snow shelter in the powdery precipitation. It was cold, there were flurries, and a great time was had by all. Six young people, five boys David, Jack, Jacob, Jeremiah, and Scott, and one rose among the thorns Shelby, plus Pat Walsh and Russ Murphy blazed trail and learned about survival in the cold. Hypothermia beware!

Returning to the church we warmed ourselves with cocoa, fed ourselves with pizza, and watched a presentation on HR Wilderness Camp, which drew great interest in the snow-shoers. Pat, later that evening, helped present "Safeguarding God's Children" for the Sunday School teachers. - "Russ Murphy"
