Hello all -
For the past two days I've been back at work (I'm getting adjusted to the kitchen; I feel confident now to lead shifts, so that's good!), and things are going well (people are liking my food). But I wanted to tell you a bit about the hike I took on my last day off!
Holden is surrounded by four mountains (Buckskin, Copper, Dumbbell, and Martin's Ridge), which create a sense of almost claustrophobia. To look outside and not be able to immediately see the sky is a bit weird, especially after growing up on the plains of Minnesota and going to school in Iowa.
Anyway. I decided to take a hike, going along with a more experienced hiker, and media technician, Lena. We got about a quarter of a mile up (Copper as a whole is about a mile tall - 5,000-some feet) and had to turn back because there was snow covering a really thin ledge over a ravine and we didn't want to fall to our deaths. So, Copper will be attempted again in it's entirety sometime next spring (it will soon be closed to all hikers this summer because of mining work).
So, I was going to post pictures here. Really, I was. But Holden's internet isn't the best and is being really slow. I will post as soon as possible.
So now this post is essentially pointless. Oh well.
The Holden School (Narnia) is selling cookies as their fundraiser for their yearbook. I'm off to support their cause! :)
I will update again soon. With pictures.
From the Village -
