Lava Pit

In Outdoor Pursuits today, we went to the low ropes course again. The activity that we completed was called "Lava Pit." Since I have already done this activity, I knew the strategy that was needed to finish it. There were 8 cinder blocks that were several feet apart, and 4 4x4 boards that were 8 feet long. The objective of the activity was to lay the boards on the cinder blocks and get everyone in the class across to the other side. You could not step into the "Lava Pit" or let the boards hit the ground. If a board would happen to hit the ground, that particular board could no longer be used. This activity was very challenging, but our class completed it. In my opinion, I didn't really like this activity because it took about an hour to complete, and there was a lot of standing around. But, "Lava Pit" did involve a lot of communication and trust from each classmate. It also was nice to just be outside and enjoy the beautiful weather.
