The good thing for the group was that we hiked faster at the end of the expedition than ever before. We really improved on hiking and got there with no breaks. We also started to get along with each other. The group is starting to know each other. Everyone is finding his place in the group. We can now pack camp up fast and go. Everyone is performing well by eating fast and packing fast.
There were many funny/cool moments. Vinnie the dog treed a bear and carried his own food on the hike. One time we were making coyote calls in a coyote active area. The coyotes came really close and scarred most people but I laughed because it was funny.
Isaac and I sang a song called Frogs on the road. It goes a little something like this.
The frogs on the road go…
Splat, splat, splat!
Splat, splat, splat!
Splat, splat, splat!
The frogs on the road go…
Splat, splat, splat!
All over your wheels.
We did that over and over and got 30 minutes of silence because Sophie told us to stop and we didn’t listen. So I made up a new song for the group and it goes like this.
H, R, M, D, C!
This is the group for you and me.
We will scream and we will fight.
Then we will have to hike all night.
Hey, yo, here we go.
Up the mountainside.
One step closer to a van ride.
Hey, yo, here we go.
Up and down we climb.
We sing even though we can’t rhyme.
Hey, yo, here we go.
If we can speed up.
Then we can step up.
We might be able to get a proposal passed.
Then we will be able to last.
Hey, yo, here we go.
Up the mountainside.
One step closer to a van ride.
Hey, yo, here we go.
Up and down we climb.
We sing even though we can’t rhyme.
Hey, yo, here we go.
That got banned too.
Isaac got clotheslined, literary because Billy, Alec, and I found a huge frog. I picked up the frog and it peed on Alec’s shoe and then I yelled, “I want to eat it”. Isaac heard me yell that and ran to see what we were doing. He ran into a p-cord tied from a tree to a gear tarp. It cut him on the nose and right beside his left eye so it looked like he had make up on. The really funny thing to me was that I said to a staff or someone else that it was bad to have a rope over a path. I don’t remember who I said that to so that can be an inside joke between me, myself, and I.
Billy and I went exploring and found a really huge rock so we climbed on top of it. There was a really great view up there. On the way down the rock we saw a cave under the rock. So we went back and got Sophie to show her the cave/hole thing. Sophie came and we saw a rock with a better view and we went there. We had to do some climbing and we got up there. Coley came up and we hid and made birdcalls. He found us and we all sat up there for a while. Kyle came looking for us but couldn’t find us. It was really nice.
