A Rainy Day in the Woods

Yesterday was just what I needed after being on campus for three or four weeks. We haven't gone on any trips during that time so I have been getting pretty bored on campus and very anxious about going on more trips.

Even though we were only gone for part of the day and it rained pretty steady the entire time, it was really great to go rappelling yesterday with my group. It wasn't that far of a drive from school but we went out to a nice little rocky spot where we set up a few rappel systems and spent lots of time going down them to get really comfortable with it. Even covered in Gore-Tex, we were all pretty wet by one o'clock so we packed up and headed back to town. It was tons of fun even though the rocks were super slick and the ropes weighed a ton because they were soaked with water. Next week, as long as we don't get a ton of rain this week, we get to go do some river opperations which will be cool also.
