red group (d2 b4)
"Eeee Rrrrr Ahhhhhh" I said as I woke up in the morning. I was rooming with Ethan, Ryan, Tom and Cameron. I was in my pj's and on my way down for breakfast. For breakfast we had eggs and bacon. The bacon was great but the eggs were a bit runny. After breakfast me and my group had clean up duty. After clean up duty we went up stairs and got dressed for hiking. After getting dressed we went outside with our groups.
Outside me and my group played a game where our group was trying to steal andy's baby. Also known as his water bottle. After playing the game and winning we started on the hike. The hike started out flat then got steeper and steeper. We got tired a lot and had to take a lot of breaks. As we got closer to the summit of firescrew there was a giant overhanging rock. It looked like it was going to fall the whole time. At one of our breaks we had a quick snack of trail mix. There were many false summits of firescrew that fooled us all. At one of the false summits we stopped and ate lunch over a beautiful view. For lunch I had a PB and J sandwich and a cookie. It was very good but time flew and before we knew it we were hiking back up firescrew. There were at least 8 more false summits before we finally found the right one. Finally the summit was in sight and finally it was the right one. But right before we reached the summit of firescrew we saw some of our fellow classmates on the summit of mount cardigan so we spelled a 7 with ourselves for our group name spartans 7. After looking around on firescrew we went over to mount cardigan. Me and my dad raced up the side of mount cardigan as fast as we could and finally I won. We made it to the summit of mount cardigan. As soon as we got to the top of Mount Cardigan I took GPS coordinates like we were doing the whole time and I also immediately did a handstand. I went up into the fire tower and we did a sketch. It was extremely windy on the top of mount cardigan so I put on my fleece. There were stone carvings in the rock of mount cardigan. Finally we had to go back down where I was the leader. The trail down was much shorter than the way up but it was still a good hike. We met some other people on the way down. We went across a big bridge and we ate some m and m’s. And finally we made it back to the lodge.
At the lodge we all took showers ate lizana that was really good. I had a couple servings of that. We all had a campfire were we told stories. Then we went upstairs brushed our teeth got ready for bed and went to sleep. The second day of Mount Cardigan was good. The second day of Mount Cardigan showed region because Mount Cardigan was a region that we hiked.
