Tameta's at Phelps

Today was my favorite so far. All the groups went to Phelps Lake, a beautiful body of water at the end of just over a two mile hike. On the way we stopped and studied the make up of water molecules and how snowflakes are made, we climbed a really big snow packed rock (which Brian was jealous of) and made some pretty steezin skits about water in liquid form to being vaporized and frozen. Then we continued up the mountain to the lake which we unknowingly skied across. We began digging next to a tree which turned out to be a small island...once we hit the ice we realized we were a little misplaced and got out of there fast. We found a good place, and dug a hole in the snow that could fit all four of us. After tests of snow temperature and density and some pretty cool pictures we packed up and made our way back down the trails. Finally after our second day of skiing we're getting the hang of it. Can't wait for tomorrow!
