Nothing but G’s at E.V.R. by A.C. Berry

Soar has two bases, one in North Carolina that you guys may know about, but do you know about Eagle View Ranch? E.V.R. is the base in Wyoming. Something interesting about E.V.R. is that they have cowboy tents. We did not stay in them because they take too long to set up. The day that we flew in, we went straight to E.V.R. to set up camp. We stayed right beside the stable. When we got up to the spot where we were camping it was covered with snow. Ben, Evan and myself decided to clear a spot for our tent. It took a while, but it was worth it because we did not get wet what so ever, I cannot say that about the others tents. Something else we thought about was to make pee trails so when we woke up in the middle of the night we did not have to walk in the snow.
This expedition was one of the easiest for warmth. Why? Because E.V.R. has a kitchen at the upper and lower houses, and a schoolhouse that has two rooms. it would have been a complete disaster because it was so cold.
I think the coolest thing about E.V.R. that it is the complete opposite from the North Carolina base. North Carolina has cabins while E.V.R. has cowboy tents with a fireplace in them. Awesome! Also there are so many views from the top of the mountain that you can see at E.V.R. There are alot of mountains at E.V.R. and from the base in Wyoming you can really tell when weather is coming. In North Carolina you can sometimes tell, but the weather can throw you off. Although I really hate the snow with a passion, it was really cool to see the Nothing But G’s having a good time with about three feet of snow. Some of the activities we did were sleding. I could not because of the doctor’s orders. Something that we could have done if there were not a lot of snow, would have been throwing hatchets and archery.
I think that the nothing But G’s had a very good time at E.V.R. I personally think that it was a very good change to let us finish our final expedition on a good note. Why? Because if we did not have the inside for school and eating we would have not finished it off as well as we did. This was a great way to end our final expedition.
