Breakfast

On day 2 I woke up, and got dressed and waited for the rest of my bunk mates and then went downstairs to see what was going on, then I sat down for brecky which was grody scrambled eggs, crappy sausages and juice. Then we went upstairs and packed my daypack for the hike. After packing my water bottle, extra change of clothes, camera, sketch book and pencil. Then I headed back downstairs. I went over to the line of people and waited for a while and then made a cold cut sandwich with white bread, ham, lettuce, tomato, onion, and mustard and put it in a plastic bag and grabbed a apple and a nutrition bar. Then we went outside and played a small game in our groups to warm up and get ready for the hike. The air was nice and crisp and cold and the trees were completely still and the sun was out. When we started for the top of fire screw I slowly noticed that the trees were going from ash and willow to evergreen and moss. I also saw that the higher we went the smaller the trees were. When we got almost to the top I noticed that the half that was into the wind did not have any limbs but the side that was away from the wind had limbs. This is a human enviroment interactions parighragh.

On our way up we stopped to sketch six times. We sketched the scenery and stuff, and every time we sketched we would pull out a long rope and go straight out and every tree we touched along the way was marked down and as we went higher and higher into the mountain the trees changed from tall and fat to short and thin. When we got to the top of the mountain it was really windy so I went behind the fire tower away from the wind until it was time to go back down. We started our way down on a very steep rock and then stopped at a shack to get a drink and do our busyness. Then we continued to a trail that broke off, it was called the skiing trail so we took it and it brought us all the way back to the lodge. Creative Commons License
