You will appreciate the adventure!

After traveling to Ensign a couple of weeks ago, I've decided it won't be as primitive as the "handcart trek" (remember I said that it WON'T), but it's going to be a lot of fun. Just make sure that you bring some kind of fip flops or slippers to wear (Flip flops would be more ideal w/snow as some of the floors are not very smooth. Mattresses seem pretty thin too! If you bring any air mattresses, you might want to bring plastic to put underneath. There is 2 fireplaces in the "activity room", which also has a pool table, shuffle board, fooz ball, ect. But bring any game that you have available (labled. They had a few games in a big box, but we don't know what condition they are in! Make sure you bring bedding, pillow and snow clothes. There is heaters in each of the rooms in the lodge and each of the bunkhouses. They will have a Christmas tree for us to decorate. If you have any festive stuff that would add to the holiday--BRING IT. Also we may be able to have a horse pulled ride (if there is not too much white stuff.) Also is fishing (diehards you can bring your gear!!!). Elk watching where they feed the elk, a couple of miles away. We can not snowmobile inside park, but snopark is close, as well as skiing. Bring sleds, tubes, and whatever you choose to slide down the hills! This should be a fun experience!!
