Klondike derby!

My son, Will, and my husband are heading out this afternoon with the scout troop to participate in a Klondike Derby. From my limited understanding, a Klondike is a troop sled race. Each troop builds their own sled, loads it with their winter camping gear, and pulls it as a team in a race with other troops. So they pack as light as the conditions will allow. They then camp overnight. All of this is done up in the mountains in deep snow and absolutely freezing weather! More power to them. I think I'll curl up on the couch with a blanket and watch a movie tonight!
