Monday

So we were supposed to wake up at seven o' clock, so naturally Mr. Angelo had the lights turned on at six thirty. It took awhile for everybody to get up, bt once we were awake everyone was excited to get the day started. First we all went to the main lodge and did nothing, kinda pointless. but after we headed over to breakfast, and had a nice surprise waiting for us. I had heard that the food was good up here, but this breakfast gave the park cafe a run for its money.
After breakfast, we went out to do our first skiing trip of the week. We would stopped at different points to look at some surroundings, and learn from our instructor. the highlight of the ski trip was when our group came across some wolf tracks. lucky for us our instructor is an expert at tracking wolves, so he had a lot to teach us. We spent a good hour just looking at all the details of the wolf tracks and learning about how to tell them apart form other tracks. When we had learned almost everything we could have about wolves it was 4:00 and time to go back to camp. But instead we decided to use our free time, and follow these tracks as far as we could, which ended up being quite the long trip. We ended up rushing back to camp, being a couple miles out, and only 20 mintues to get there. Half way back, Brian realizes that he has lost the phone and is scared to go back and talk to Mr. Angelo. We made it back for dinner, which was all that mattered.
