A report from Jimmy S on the recent Luge outing:

As we arrived at the Presbyterian Church at 8:45 on Saturday, January 14, all was well and it looked like the perfect day for luging. We got into our cars and went on our way to Muskegon. It took about 3½ hours to get there and along the way we stopped for lunch at separate places. Then we met at the Baymont Inn, our hotel, and checked in. We then proceeded to the Muskegon Sports Complex, which has the only luge track in America that is open to the public. Luging is a lot like sledding, but you lay down on an icy track. We luged for about 2 hours, from 4:00 to 6:00, then got in our cars and all went to Pizza Hut for dinner. After dinner, we left, but it was snowing so hard, you couldn’t even see the road 200 ft. in front of you. After some sliding along the road, and some wrong turns, we got back to the hotel and went swimming in the pool area. Still at the pool, some of the scouts got out, opened the door, and walked around in the snow. I did it, and I couldn’t feel my feet, so I can’t imagine what it felt like when some scouts rolled around in it. After the pool, most of the scouts went to their rooms and watched the Packers vs. Broncos football game. At 10:00, it was supposed to be lights out, although most of the scouts went to sleep around 12:00. In the morning we woke up, ate breakfast at the breakfast buffet at the hotel, and left at 8:30. We arrived in Riverside around 11:00, then we all went home.
