WINTER TRIP 3: THE REAL HEROES

Social Media Hill = the closest place to the hut where you can access telephone network. ”Argh, no one’s answering!” //
”I guess I need to call the taxi driver. He told me to call if we run into trouble, after all.” //
”Hello?” ”Hi, it’s Kati. The road is still blocked by snow…” //
”…and the youngsters can’t walk all the way back… and I can’t contact anyone else right now… so would you happen to know whom I should call to get help?” //
”Can you make it to that parking lot? I’ll take a snowmobile along and come get you from there.” ”Really? Awesome! Thank you so much!” //
”We might be the Avengers but this taxi driver is a real hero!”

”What a nice sunset.” //
Crack! ”!” ”!” //
”We’re like wild animals, startled by every noise.” ”Yep.”

”A year ago I went to the winter trip wearing hiking shoes. It was a mistake.” //
My fell were constantly freezing so badly that it just hurt. ”Moaaaaannn!” //
”This time I willingly took skiing boots.” //
”They’ve got felt lining and three pairs of woolen socks inside.” //
”And I wasn’t cold at any point!”

”For years I wore an anorak on winter trips because of the front pocket where I could keep all things necessary at hand. Like my belt knife.” //
”But now my anorak is getting a bit old and worn out.” //
”So I bought this old satchel from a second hand store and modified it a bit.” //
Now I can wear it around my waist and put all those important little things in there.” //
”Belt knife, matches, headlamp, water bottle, snacks, map and compass… everything nicely at hand, even when carrying my backpack! This was the most useful equipment on this trip!”

”Woo-hoo!” ”The taxi driver comes with his snowmobile!” ”We’ll be saved!” //
”Hey, at least try to play it cool.” //
”I can’t take you all in one go but those who’ll have to wait can make a fire from this wood.” ”Yay!” //
”Well, this was a sort of an adventure again!” (The end.)
