Happy Camper

On Saturday, my friend Cece who is a field instructor in McMurdo came to the Pole to give Happy Camper school to Polies. There was an extra spot so I decided to go last minute on Saturday night. It was much like the class I took in McMurdo, only it was a bit colder (-22F) and we were on an expedited schedule.

I slept in the tent on the left and was so warm in 2 sleeping bags.
