Day 2

On day two I and my fellow bunkmates were awoken to the sound of everybody’s stomping feet, so we got up and went downstairs with everybody to talk about Halloween, and our awaiting hike to the summit. Everyone was pretty excited but hungry. For what felt like hours we waited but finally we got to set up for breakfast and eat! We had eggs and bacon for breakfast. After the long-awaited breakfast, we cleaned up and went to go get ready for the hike. We got multiple layers on, did our hair, and brushed our teeth. We stumbled back downstairs and made our lunches and got on our way to the west ridge trail. It took about an hour to get to the trail but we eventually made it. It was super cold when we got there but it warmed up after we put every sweatshirt on in the world. We began the hike. There were many intricate rock steps and a few built-in bridges to climb over, also we saw lots of reigions with full green trees and we saw reigions with lots of princess pine. During the hike we took a few breaks to eat a snack, sketch, and get motivated. When we almost reached the top we took a quick break because the people pushing Constantine had very hard working legs that were getting tired. After hiking and hiking, we finally reached the top, it was fantastic. The view was unbelievable, it was definitely worth the hike. We ate lunch and met the other groups as they got to the top. And the funniest thing happened, Amelias water bottle fell off the mountain and Emily went to go get it!!!!! She is flipping insane but she was fine. After a few pictures and some lunch we headed back down the mountain, nothing too special happened while we were hiking we pretty much did the same thing as we did the way up. We got back to the bottom and left to go back to the lodge. We got back and had some time to warm up. Then we ate and went out to the campfire to listen to some stories. We finally went to bed and got the long-awaited sleep.
