My group sketched Cardigan lodge before departing for Fire Screw Mountain




             Day 2 at cardigan was much better. First thing in the morning at about seven-thirty, everybody was woken up to start getting ready for a long day of hiking and then join everybody else in the lounge/living room. After completing this, we all went to the table of our choice due to who set up and cleaned up what then started breakfast. After this we were given the ort (our remaining tidbits) report and made a goal for dinner that night, we then made a lunch for the day and set of after playing some qum cha. It was a sort of yes sort of no boring hike, although the majority of time was intertwined with riddles and complaining, and even the occasional game, the hike proved long and tiring. Among the highlights of the hike was definitely on the path to fire screw where Mr. Woolner pointed out an old house foundation from when the path was a plain. This was a great example of Human Environment Interaction because a human must of interacted with many nearby streams and lakes to move those rocks to the foundation. When my group made it to the top of firescrew, we then crossed the saddle between it and Cardigan and made it to the top ahead of our rivaling team by no more than 5 minutes. We then sketched and talked before finally beginning the long and tiresome decent down Cardigan. During this time, the air was intertwined with complaints and moans about aching feet and wedged toes, but, the mood did get slightly more cheerful when Zelda Ackerman tripped, and did several somersaults down the hill before jamming to a halt. Despite this close experience, Zelda laughed and proved not to be hurt except for a few minor scratches. The group then started making some shaky jokes about how great Zeldas acrobatics were and then continued on with a somewhat lightened mood. One the group reached the bottom, we then continued to the lodge and proceed with the evening activities. lolz lolz lolz lolz
