So our group really likes to dig. During our last expedition we were in a desert, ideal for digging. In many of the places like Canyon Lands National Park, Cedar Mesa, and even into the side of a river bed, we dug holes.
It all started in Canyon Lands National Park when a few people in the group were afraid of rain. I took the risk of sleeping on a small but comforting riverbed. Worried that rain might come I dug holes and channels and a few barriers to stop water flow and redirect it. Others built similar things like trenches and channels. Anders dug out a huge hole that he literally slept in! Unfortunately it never rain to test out our defenses.
Digging holes were not the only thing we would do. We would use the excess dirt from our holes to build towns and use sticks and make farms near the towns. It all started as a peaceful thing in our town economy, however some people would get a little crazy and build literal castles and trenches and what not around them turning into a giant game of Risk (which we love so dearly). Unfortunately we have a leave no trace policy here at S.O.A.R so our humble towns and fortresses ended in a horrible furry of rock, logs, and pure human greed (meaning we go and destroy each other’s stuff). This event of destruction would usually last about a half an hour because rebuilding and the struggle for victory would take place during the destruction. This was just one of the many things we did during our down time to keep us entertained in the idle of a desert. Thank you for your time.
