Polar Bear Plunge

9 Comments

The recent weather has reminded me that it's time to head over to the lake, find a hole in the ice and jump in - it'll feel warmer in the water than out of it! The Polar Plunge at White Bear Lake is back and our team goal this year is to outperform the more than $1,500 we raised in 2013. For reference, the 15 or so plunge events last year raised more than $3 million for Special Olympics Minnesota. A very large portion of that was in the form of individual donations supporting plungers like me.

    1. not sure how to get rid of that code on either side of the photos

      You are probably clicking the IMG button but then pasting in the HTML needed to link to the image rather than the image URL itself. E.g. you are pasting in <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/53434342@N06/8454036921/" title="267041 by Can of Corn1, on Flickr" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8512/8454036921_3b162573c9_z.jpg" /></a> rather than http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8512/8454036921_3b162573c9_z.jpg.

      2. cool. i always wondered how to show HTML code and have it show up instead of, um, HTMLing. thanks for doing it so i could peek under the hood.

        1. I messed up the first time and forgot to escape the < and >. Don't forget that part. The <code> tag just makes it look different.

  3. I have a waterproof camera - took this one of my buddy climbing out while hurrying through the water to do the same.
