I'll only share of few of the shots I was able to capture - I took plenty of course. After watching the toboggans come down the chute and just watching all the people - some in costumes and some warming up in their makeshift tents and ice houses we decided that we'd seen enough and was a little disappointed it wasn't as big of an event as advertised and of what we had anticipated but we had a good time all and all.

Friends Trip for February
Well another friends trip was upon us and it was a warm weekend so we decided we would head to Camden to witness the famous Toboggan Chute Championships. It is advertised every year - and we've missed it each year so we headed down today. It is a weekend ordeal with about 900 teams competing. Some as far away as Florida and Rhode Island. We drove into Camden and took the shuttle bus which happen to be a big yellow school bus to the mountain also know as the Snow Bowl. Our driver was a friendly guy named Bob.

What fun. I think the big event is the partying the participants do all weekend long. I mean, how much time does it take to make a few runs down the mountain? Haha Remember those days when we would get all geared up for a fun raising dance? The dance lasted two hours but the anticipation and then the partying after and retelling was more fun than the event. I've been going through pictures and found goodies. haha
What a nice time! I am sure the company was great! I hope that we have great friends like you do with the Dinardo's. It's nice to have another couple of hands to do things with :O)
Twila - You and Dan have great friends yourself and they I'm sure will be keepers for life.
