Wintersplash 2.0 (page 1)
Wintersplash 2.0 took place on a chilly Saturday. It had snowed several days earlier, but there was not much left on the ground. The ground itself was rock-solid, and made the Wintersplash into a truly physical sport. We introduced a new member to the 'Splash, Uncle Bob, but also featured our old buddy Rusty. Eamon was the only one who decided to come and 'Splash with us, and experienced what you can only imagine.
Here's me displaying our new friend Uncle Bob, the Wintersplash Warrior. He was a spirited old chap who came along for the best ride of his life.
We poured water down the 'Splash to get a nice iced-over surface, but that water had pooled at the end forming a large hard pile at the end. So Tim got out the pick axe and worked away at it.
Lassie came along for the ride. It was only fitting since she was the co-creator of the Godsplash. She was just looking for an opportunity to nip at someone's heels. Unfortunately, those heels belonged to Tim.
The most thrilling ride of your life inevitably comes to an end with a huge letdown - staring up in to the sky in complete exhaustion.
Eamon takes Rusty out for a good ol' run, and proves to be a most excellent Wintersplasher, despite only making it to one of the Godsplashes. Which only proves that all of you who didn't show up or went only once, redemption can be yours.
I fly down the hill thanks to my ultra-flight gear. Did I say flight gear? I meant Wintersplash gear. "It is only by wearing the proper clothing for the event do we let the event empower ourselves to the fullest." (Author Unknown)
Eamon chose to wear sweat pants and a sweat shirt (which is water permeable), and learned the hard way about proper Wintersplash apparel.
I got nice and hurt cascading down those movie banners that faithful eve, but it was all for the best. My reputation now proceeds me when I enter any given establishment.
