The Ice Box Igloo!

So as many of you already know Rochelle and I are pretty much hard core outdoor enthusisits. Well.... ok actually I'm the hard core one, but Rochelle is really beginning to catch on and we are having a lot of fun. So this October I saw an add in an outdoor magizine about a web site called http://www.grandshelters.com/ which sells an igloo maker. So I was intrigued and researched the product, then purchased what is called the Ice Box Igloo Maker. It arrived in early November then we had to wait for the snow to fly. So last week the snow started to fall in Boise and the surrounding mountains!! So we (Rochelle, Evan, and I) headed up toward Bogus Basin Ski resort and put the Ice Box to work, and here is our 5 1/2 hour 8 foot igloo.

The 11 footer!

The day after Christmas Vince, Evan, Keith, and I set out to build the 11 foot igloo. We found the perfect spot and began the process. The 11 footer was more than we were ready for as after 5 solid hours of building we still had a gaping hole in the top of our igloo. It was dark so we left with the plan for Evan and I to return the next day to finish the job. So Evan and I logged 4 more hours on the igloo and still have about a 3 foot hole in the very top. We ran out of time again. Next week we will return and finish the beast. Here are some Pictures of the 11 footer.
