Pete’s Week
2009-12-22 13:24:34.000 – Peter Roy, Summit Volunteer
Fogbow Over the Summit
My week as a volunteer has been fun, some hard work, but fun. The week started with 100 MPH wind gusts and below zero temperatures. My 25 year old face mask froze over. As I helped load and unload the snow tractor I couldn’t see. The crew was very business like and put stuff in my hands to pass on.
I settled in and got started. Saturday was great! The temps hit 20 above I think. I got out side and took some pictures. A group of 8 came on Saturday with an overnight hiking trip. It was much more work. It’s Monday and almost over. I’ve done a lot of reading and have a lot more to do.
Another good week.
