Weather for today:

...and now Zachary Potter with the forecast: rain.

Yes, it rained today. How unfortunate. This is too bad for a variety of reasons, but mostly because it cut our workday in half. In the morning, the crew split in 2 parts: the BLUE SQUAD worked on crushing rocks on the upper portion of the trail and then joined the RED SQUAD down bellow. On the lower portion of the trail (previously untouched), some wonder-tread was made. Two other subdivisions of the RED SQUAD (RED SQUAD ALPHA and RED SQUAD BETA) worked on setting stepping stones in low-lying areas where flooding would likely be a problem. RED SQUAD ALPHA and RED SQUAD BETA combined efforts for a period to move a very large and uncooperative rock that was sleeping in an old rock wall overlooking a pit of garbage (which we need to clean up). Soon, RED SQUAD ALPHA removed another rock for their hole. The hole in question was unforgiving and excessively rooty and generally a jerk. Before we could set said rocks, we stopped for a snack. At the end of our break, it began to rain and we hiked out before we could actually set the rocks.

We drove to the Memorial Park by Woodglen Middle School and wrote letters to ExxonMobil among other time-wasting activities. blahblahablah

Really, I am writing this post for one reason; To post the website of...
!!ADIRONDACK EXTREME!!
WOW CHECK OUT THOSE PICTURES OF PEOPLE SWEATING!!! Really, they do not do any justice to the amount of exclamation points and drops of sweat found on the website. YOU HAVE TO BE THERE. Well for those of you on the other crew, I am posting this because many (I mean all) of our crew members have taken interest in this climbing course from my description. Last year for my rec trip (hybrid crew) we went here and enjoyed it like nothing else on this Earth! And certainly, I am NOT saying to return to the same place for a rec trip two years in a row, but many people wanted to know about the fabled "Sky-Monkey Palace" anyway.

Oh yeah so one more thing, I was talking about a Mafia website where you can play the game with others online for FREE at EpicMafia. Sign up is really easy (no email required) and there are something like 50 different roles that custom games can utilize. I'm not going to explain the website here (to keep this post short), but there is a help tab somewhere on the website... The interface might be confusing.

Yes, that is all! Zachary Potter, out!
