This Saturday a brave troop of Colby students journeyed to the deepest depths of the Camden Hills in search of the monstrous and mysterious yeti. We are proud to say that not a single explorer was lost along the way during this perilous expedition. And despite the danger, all members of the group were able to don a hearty smile.<\/p>\n

\"Group\"<\/a><\/p>\n

At times, the snowshoes they wore gave them trouble\u2026<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Near<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2026 but they eventually got their act together and straightened themselves out.<\/p>\n

\"Our<\/a><\/p>\n

The group\u2019s first order of business hiking on the trail was to find the renowned Maiden Cliff, where 150 years ago it is alleged that a yeti threw a girl over the edge, where she fell to her death. This story was confirmed, as the trippers discovered a large white cross in the place where she was pushed over, and quite a spectacular view to accompany it!<\/p>\n

\"In<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Gathered<\/a><\/p>\n

After confirming the existence of the yeti, the troop moved onwards in search of the creature himself! They followed what appeared to be his tracks for a few miles\u2026<\/p>\n

\"Open<\/a><\/p>\n

Just because the team was on a mission doesn\u2019t mean they didn\u2019t have loads of fun!<\/p>\n

Dagmar and Kimberly disguised themselves as the yeti to surprise the rest of the group\u2026<\/p>\n

\"Snow<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u2026 and they all had a good laugh.<\/p>\n

Eventually they arrived at Zeke\u2019s Lookout, the deepest point of the woods, and a fantastic spot for looking out at the ocean.<\/p>\n

\"Zeke's<\/a><\/p>\n

There, the team sat down for a refreshing lunch, which refueled them for their long journey home. The balmy 7 degree weather provided perfect conditions for a possible daytime yeti sighting, however, it did not prove to make eating lunch an easy task. Even so, the team prevailed with all limbs intact!<\/p>\n

Back out of the woods, no yeti having been spotted, the team of explorers decided to utilize their talents instead by surveying the frozen lake at the bottom of the cliff.<\/p>\n

\"Frozen<\/a><\/p>\n

Overall a fantastic day. Trees, snow, sun, cold, spectacular views, and no wind! But most importantly, the awesome troop of explorers lit up the forest with their good attitude and heart-warming camaraderie.<\/p>\n
