| Re: "Shelter Season" |
|
 | | With the weather warming up and the snow melting we are approaching "shelter season". I say we have a friendly compeition. We will set a date (some time in the middle of april or later i'd hope) and give a time limit (hours or days) to build a shelter. Pictures and details will be necessary. Members will pick their favorite shelter and have to vote (on a poll) which they like best. Members will be expected to not vote for themselves. The winner gets bragging rights, but everyone gets a little more experience with building shelters. IF you feel that this would be a good or bad idea post in this topic. IF enough of the regulars want to I think it could be a good little competition. So vote and post what you think! |
Warming up?!?! Snow melting?!?! We have about a foot and a half of snow here! And it's not going anywhere for what, a month and a half? Regardless I may have to jump on this competition for this weekend when we go to the Iron Range. Talk about snow, they have almost 3 feet up there!

Is there any way we can have posts over a year old appear as sepia toned? Maybe crumbling around the edges?

Well you're welcome to stay at linsley's ice hotel when it's done. My brother and his fiance are making a big snow fort in their back yard this year, it's about 8' in diameter.
