At E.V.R. with the Yogis by: Evan Anderson


        This blog is going to be about the Wyoming base called Eagle View Rock or E.V.R. for short. This is just a few descriptions about its surroundings some of the activities we did there.
        So jumping into the location. E.V.R. is (once again) SOAR’S base located near Dubois Wyoming. It’s situated on some of the mountains surrounding the town of Dubois on the edge of a national forest,
       E.V.R. looks like a big Viking house. I don’t know what Valhalla looks like, but I feel like E.V.R. ha s it down pretty good. They have a roaring fireplace and stone based pillars with wood rising to the roof, a giant covered eating area that had metal smooth concrete floors, and a few nice tables. There is also a kitchen that had four sinks, food racks, a couple burners, flat top stove and an oven. Back a little further you have the restrooms and then further back you come to the showers and the maintenance closet. E.V.R. also has a new wooden eagle made by someone last summer out a tree stump!
      The group had a few activities we participated in. Some were on base, while some were in the nearby town. We used E.V.R. for sleeping, eating, and school. After school we would have our activity period, then we would pack up and go to the nearby town of Dubois and do some riflery and yoga. Before we left, we did some cleaning and sanitation of the base and areas that were affected by the group’s presence.
      At E.V.R. we enjoyed the fun times and the views and the very good looks, it is unfortunate that we won’t be going back, but at least we had that opportunity!
