Tonight Joseph, Daniel, Timo, and I went to Battle Creek Park to sled. After google maps directed us to some forlorn corner of the (huge) park with the hill nowhere in sight, we were lost about 20 minutes trying to find the sledding hill. Eventually we found it, and although the lights were off (it was past 10 pm), we decided to sled a bit anyway.
It was quite entertaining. For one thing, every able-bodied Minnesotan should probably go sledding at least once a year just to keep it in the blood. Also, the couple inches of fresh powder over more packed snow gave perfect conditions for hitting the slope. We all tried to make it down in one piece and without fracturing our tailbones, and we succeeded fairly well in both of those. It was kind of funny when a couple other late night sledders showed up and one of them popped their inner tube the first time down the hill. I couldn't help but laugh. We finished by all linking arms and going down the hill side by side. We all crashed, as we knew we would, and most of us went down together, but somehow Timo escaped and made it to the bottom. Overall, we sustained only minor injuries, and the experience was satisfactorily exhilarating.
Unfortunately my ailing computer is not wanting to read my SD card, so the inclusion of the few pictures I took will have to be postponed indefinitely.
