Block 7 Necessities

Here is a list of things you should have if you are here for Block 7, aka the coldest months. 1. A car with AWD or 4WD.           If the car does not have either make sure that the car has a pretty new battery or else it will most likely die while you are up here.           This didn't happen to me, thankfully, but my sister (who lives in SD) switched with me. Since it still gets pretty cold there, a pipe in my car burst:)  2. Snow shoes 3. The house has everything you need except for blankets!! Plenty of sheets, and dishes. You might want to bring your own pillow!  4. A big snow jacket 5. Gloves that are good!! Preferably mittens 6. Scarves 7. A gator for skiing 8. Ear warmers  9.

After we ate dinner we watched the Bachelor, DUH! Tuesday, we went to the Arapahoe Clinic to present the rabies brochure to Pod 1. Again, these people were so friendly, and then we headed back to the Ethete clinic to finish working on our pain patients.
