Wednesday night we had a bonfire on the beach across the road from the college. It was awesome! Britt and Doria made signs for it and displayed them all around the school. People went around the college campus and collected pallets to burn (remember, there are no trees, meaning no logs). A bunch of professors showed up and a couple of them built this big tower and then lit it on fire. They even brought a propane torch which made it a lot easier than working with matches. I have had a fire in the snow before but never to this scale or in this cold. It was -13 degrees with flurries. I was wearing a sweatshirt, hat, and mittens. I was either burning up or super cold. It was very hard to keep an even temperature. The best way was to keep turning in a circle as if being roasted on the steak.
We had half racks of soda, hotdogs, (with bread not buns because the AC did not have any) and smores fixings. It was very difficult making smores because it was so cold. By the time I put by marshmallow with my chocolate and gram crackers the marshmallows were cold. Another interesting thing about the fire was that about ¼ of the people drove over and sat in their cars.
Anyway it was a fun time and we got to meet some new people as well.
Later gator,
