            Our previous expedition was great I had lots of fun. I think everybody had lots of fun on our expedition. We were hiking on the AT. We also went white water rafting. We also went to the drum circle in Asheville on Friday night that was really fun.

            One of the things that I did that I really liked was finding a secret rock that had a beautiful view from the top. Alex and I found it and then went and got Sophie to come look, she loved it. We sat on top of it for a while just admiring the beautiful view. The thing that made it so special was that it was ours and only we knew about it, it was secret.

            I really liked getting to set up my own tarp because when I set it up myself I know it’s good and then I don’t worry it’s going to fall in the middle of the night.

I also liked how we got to see all the beautiful views and especially seeing the coyotes; it was pretty cool. We also went to the drum circle, which was loads of fun. Preston and I were dancing so much while others were trying to get a girls number. I also liked the night we slept in a real cabin. It was our brake day. All we had to do was hike a mile up trail to the cabin and then just stayed there all day long, it was a very relaxing day.

I also really liked the end of the expedition where we all worked together as a team to get things done. I also saw a lot of improvement in peoples hiking skills, which made me happy. I liked how instead of everybody fighting all the time people were helping each other. Although there’s a lot of room for improvement, it’s a lot better then it originally was.
