Blue Group ... D1B2

This is all three mountains of Mt. Cardigan Orange Mt. and Firescrew that I sent to my family

We are off to Mt. Cardigan not only to hike but to have fun. I was in session 1 so our group went first after the long bus ride we finally came to a halt hearing everyone say we're here we're here. We got instructed to go the field to talk and learn our name of our instructor my name was Hope she lead us through very difficult and not so difficult times we stopped to do gps coordinates and stopped to take a lunch break or even a water break. After we did a short hike together as a group after that we headed back to the lodge to set up and see what it was like. By then everyone was feeling pretty comfortable . about this trip so we ate dinner talked and had a good time before bedtime every night Mr.Woolner read us a book to calm us down from the day . Now everyone rushes up the stairs to get into bed because now it is a mini halloween Mr.Wooler handing out candy if we are in bed and that was the first day at Cardigan Mt

Day 2 of the Mt.Cardigan trip we wake up very tired but our chaperones help us get our act together and maybe even our roommates after we get dressed for the day and go downstairs for breakfast everyone looking tired but ready for what nature gives us. Next after a wonderful breakfast we meet up with our chaperones to pick roles for the day for example leader or leave no trace ninja we pick roles for each other not only to either help nature or keep people busy that are not doing anything. Now we have food in us and we are ready to hike some mountains we are one of the first groups to set off our group worked really well together until we came to this one intersection. We looked on the map and decided to go on the ski trail which happens to be a not so good choice we thought it would be really easy but there are steep parts bumps all kinds of obstacles but our leader helped us through the pain and said keep on climbing guys we got this. after that we we are almost there our group took the last leap to get to the top all the other groups we are starting to get there it was a wonderful view but before we knew it we had to get back down to have free time and dinner. After another wonderful meal we had to listen to another one of Mr.Woolners stories before bedtime. Once again another mini halloween we got more candy! then before we knew it snoring and rustling we are asleep waiting until morning that was day 2 at Mt. Cardigan.

we were there for 3 days, a really sunny sunday , and a really muggy monday and a really rainy tuesday .
