Bethlehem Revisited

Bethlehem Revisited of 2013 is officially over. Even with the cold weather things went rather smoothly and a lot of people went through. There were no major mishaps as far as I know however we did have some small problems that we were able to solve quickly. I've been helping with BR for five years and this was the coldest year I have been apart of, there have been individual days in past years that were colder however this year all three nights were freezing. Then on Sunday in snowed. This makes everything really pretty, especially while it was still snowing and with all of the lanterns and other lights made the falling snow really visible. The snow also made things a little more challenging. Walking up the trails isn't the easiest task to begin with but once you had snow to them they get slippery and it becomes even more difficult. BR also provides four-wheelers pulling carts with seats mounted on them for those who won't be able to make it up the trails walking. Without snow the four-wheeler have trouble pulling trailers up the hill, then you add snow and it can be a little bit of a rodeo. We have two four-wheelers with carts and I was one of the drivers, and we never needed both four-wheelers out on Friday or Saturday, so I never drove. However Sunday the first group that went through needed one and I had been using my four-wheeler so it was warm, meaning I drove for that group and it was snowing. I have drove a four-wheeler up those trails a million times pulling a trailer however only once with somebody riding that I don't know. I was a little nervous. Thankfully everything went great and I didn't wreck with a passenger. Even with the cold weather and snow, Bethlehem Revisited was a lot of fun again this year, and I can't wait until next year.
