The First Day My Trip to Mt.Cardigan

Day 1: I awoke early on the 25th of September even though it was a Sunday. I was going to Mt. Cardigan. As I arrived at school all my friends were there ready to get on the bus. I tossed my stuff in the trailer and went to the back of the bus to sit with my friends. The bus ride was beautiful as we drove through the back country roads to Mt. Cardigan; it was very picturesque.

As we arrived at Mt. Cardigan, everyone got off the bus and went to the orientation at the AMC Lodge. We then all went to unpack into our rooms with all the stuff that we had moved here. After this, we had our lunch which we had also brought from home. Then we headed out on a nature trail. The nature trail was short but interesting. There were many different plants like hobblebush ferns and balsam fir trees. We walked by the river which had flowed from up the hill.

After this short hike we went back theo the Lodge. Our guide, Andy, told us all about the place, where he was from and who had settled here. He told us that a long time ago someone had an grown an orchard here but the trees slowly moved back with in among the apple trees. Finally, it was dinner time. The people in charge the told us how they had brought the food from farms and also when the lodge was built. After dinner, we went on a "night hike." Andy blindfolded us and lead us into the woods. It was scary but fun. After such a big day, we finally went to bed. Day 1 sure was a long day of moving.
