Physical

PHYSICAL-When I was at Cardigan and we were hiking up the mountain to get to the peak of Firescrew there was a lot of stuff to see. Although it might have gotten cold the higher we went up it was still a good experience. When we had made it to the top of Firescrew we had actually just made it in time because the fog had started to cover the view so we got to see it right before the fog had covered it. It was physical because the way the top of the mountain was formed was really cool. Also there were little tiny mud pits filled with water on the peak and we could see mount cardigan from Firescrew. Also the way the trees were formed was really cool because since there was less oxygen the trees were smaller and shaped at an angle.

Cultural

CULTURAL-When we were at the Cardigan AMC Lodge is was really cool, because we got to have roommates and good food. Also when we had free time we would play football or I would play soccer and we also played spike ball. At night we would get to listen to Mr. Woolner read us some stories. Another really interesting thing about hiking Cardigan was the trails because they were man made and they had some very difficult places to climb and some easy. For example in some places it was wet and almost like a waterfall so it would be slippery but still fun and it would also be just flat and climbing tiny rocks about the size of an average head.

We were there for 3 days from October 2nd to october 4th and the days were Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.
