Editing Finding the Youth-Elder Cabin (section)

=Preparing Cabin=

As it turns out, George played a prank on us. 

Not only is the youth-elder cabin in great shape, it also lies next to a road- which means we can bring people there with our truck. 
It isn't even locked!

It needs more comfortable seats though, firewood, a toilet, and some cleaning out. But this is nothing that can not be done with some helping hands and an early start.

<div class="next_choice">At 6 am I load up the truck and pick up Percy, Dustin, Gibson and Peter to drive up to the Cabin. A fresh, thick layer of snow has fallen last night, so the road needs to be broken in at different places. Here and there I crash through snowbanks almost a meter high, and it sprays in the air next to the truck as I keep moving. It's dark, the sun hasn't come up yet, and I have never driven off-road before. I am having fun though. Dropping the men off at the cabin I return to town to pick up the next people, while they clear the snow out of the cabin, chop wood to get the heating started, boil water, and set up the toilet. It takes me two more drives to get everyone to the cabin, and by then it is warm and cozy. 

We can get "started" around 11.</div>
