Day 2 at Cardigan

October 1st 2015

By Erica L.

The sound of my bunkmates whispering to one another had awoken me. We got dressed and went to breakfast. We packed lunches for our big hike that day. My group was on clean up crew for breakfast, then we all got dressed and ready for the hike. For the hike, we climbed up Firescrew Mountain, down in between Firescrew and Cardigan, and up onto Cardigan Mountain, and down Cardigan to the lodge again. While hiking, we stopped at some different places to make sketches, sing (A LOT) of random songs, and play nature related games. Although the two mountains where near, the views from each looked different. On top of Firescrew, I could see almost every mountain in the summit. I remember on Cardigan, I could see less mountains, and the conditions were much cloudier. The start of the hike down Cardigan was really steep and hard to get down, but the rest was fine. When we finally got back to Cardigan Lodge, we had our free time. Before dinner time, we got back with our hiking groups to talk about ort again, specifically about water. We learned about how much water that is used to make the food gets wasted along with when the ort gets wasted. The total weight of the ort that night was only .7 pounds. For dessert we had ice cream, then Mr. Woolner told us stories, and then we went into our bunk rooms and went to sleep.

On day two, we used an exampile of human environment interaction. We reacted to the colder on top of the mountains, and dressed in warmer clothing so we wouldn't get cold. We also dressed in raingear to keep ourselves dry because of the rainy weather we had durring our trip.
