For the third day, we packed up, got dressed for the day and then had french toast for breakfast. Outside, we hiked a short trail and stopped often to play different games that involved a lot of focus. We partnered up and then blindfolded one person, bringing them to a tree for them to find when unblinded. Tabby also had another game for us to try and find a paperclip in a specific area by a stream. After the games, we hiked a little further and did a nature scavenger hunt type thing at a clearing. It was a cold and steep hike up all the trails and at the top of one of them, there was an old car and some sort of ski lift thing. That showed some human/environment interaction because it was the top of a ski trail that had been cleared years and years earlier. Also, there was a rock wall that we went to, showing what the area had been used for. We thought an apple orchard and farmland were there, considering the plants that were growing nearby. Once we were done with that, we headed back to the base lodge to gather the rest of our stuff and played a game of Captain's Coming. When we were done, we said goodbye and got on the buses for the ride back.
