Day 2 At Mt.Cardigan Trip

Day 2

On day 2 we had to get up at 6:30 in the morning had to get ready for the day of hiking and breakfast. So I was the first one to get up in my room. My group had to do clean up after breakfast. We had scrambled eggs, fruit and muffins. The scrambled eggs were really gross. But everything else was very good.So after breakfast we meet up wit hthe group to clean up breakfast which went very fast. When we were done with that we had 15 minutes to get oor lunches made and finish getting ready for hiking. So when that was all done we meet up outside with our groups. We talked about the plan for the day and started of. So we first hiked up firescrew and then did the saddle back up to Cardigan. So during the hike we stopped every 1000 feet to stop to do a sketch and did a transect and then we walked down and whatever we touch you would write down. When we were going up we started talking about how we should invent nose hats because when we were hiking we all were complaining how noses were cold, so that is how that got started. We stopped to get a snack more than half. There was this cool spot that we stopped at to have a snack. It was like a mini cliff. Then we had lunch at the false summit of Firescrew and did a sketch there too. After lunch we finally made it to the real summit of Firescrew and got to do a 15 second dance party and Andy was beat boxing for us. After that we got a cool pic we made a 7 out of the group because we were the Seven Spartan. The way we got that name was we choose Spartans and then whenever we asked if we were almost there and Andy would say 7 more miles and 7 more hours,etc, that's how we got our team name. Then we did the 20 minute saddle walk to get to the summit of Cardigan. The view was so pretty. The theme for the day was REGIONS because it was the summit of Mt. Cardigan.When we were I almost fell asleep because it was so relaxing at the top. When we were heading down I fell walking down these rock steps and found a ladder and a little bridge and after that is was an easy hike back for me at least. When we got back to the Amc lodge we had an hour of free time to do whatever we wanted. Then it was dinner we had lasagna and it was good. After that we had a bonfire and sang really bad songs. We had to do an infomercial about whatever and we did nose hats. Then we went inside and went to bed. But me and my room talked for a few hours again just like the last night. That was day 2 at Mt. Cardigan.
