Challenge: get nude. Reward: fondue. Join Annabelle and Blake on their hike to Deep Creek Hot Springs where we will LITERALLY be bringing a fondue machine. We will leave Friday morning at 8 am with a two and a half hour drive to Deep Creek Hot Springs trail. After about a two mile hike to the hot springs we will have some lunch and hang out at the hot springs. While you are hanging out by the hot springs Annabelle and Blake will be cheffing up some high quality cuisine of spaghetti. The star of the show will then be unleashed: fondue machine. Strawberries, marshmallows, pretzels, and more can be covered in chocolate with SCO’s special fondue machine. It might get hot and steamy, but don’t worry because it will be tasty. After our feast, we will hike two miles back down to our cars as better people. We will be back to campus around 5pm for Friday night festivities.
DISCLAIMER: Nudity is not required, but it is allowed at the hot springs so we are likely to encounter nudists.
