Cardigan has a trial called the 80 around, which has many plants all around. But everywhere you look you see mushrooms of all kinds. You could see a rose pink mushroom, a jellyfish-like mushroom with a light blue coat. You also see a lot of cucumber plants which have five leaves shaped in a star-like shape. You also see tall, skinny hemlocks that are a beautiful basil color.

I got to school around 7:25 ish to see and meet all of my friends at the back of the school. After an hour-long bus ride we met our leaders and were separated into our groups. My leader Max took us over by the canoe to play a fun chain game and to sketch anything we wanted, I sketched a small purple clam like a flower. After that we started to head off to our first trail and the day which was 80 turns around. A couple minutes and then to our walk and we started to do our second sketch of the day. I sketched a giant leaf with a small little red fruit that was near the river we were at. After that I pulled out an instrument that I brought during the trip. It's a mini wooden piano and I let Max play with it for a little. I'm not going to lie Max, looked kind of high. We continued on our walk and while we're walking up we saw one weird-looking frog. It was brown and a rusty kind of red, very bumpy and a little hidden in the mud and dirt. After a little while we stopped for a lunch break and that's where we also took our third sketch. Max wanted us to sketch a fairy house end where the ferry would live. I chose a little Dent near the stream and put a mushroom house with a fairy named Maria next to it. After we were done with the sketch I pulled out my lunch and I had a Musubi with grape peppers and an energy drink. people started to question the Musubi. They were really fascinated about it and I was happy to tell them what it was and where it came from. We continued up the mountain and I decided that we should sing a song or the move song to be exact. Weser to hear voices in the distance and apparently there's a cellar up ahead where some people are making a sketch of. Max wanted to discuss the seller but I didn't feel like doing it so I didn't do it. While we're at the seller the other group started to tell us riddles. I wasn't really paying attention so I don't know what the riddles were.The farther we headed up to the mountain the more cloudy it got. Heavy rain was falling down on us we decided to stop in an area to sketch and then we played hide and go seek and sardines we decided to stop there apparently there was a waterfall if I had but we're running out of time so you decided to head back and on the way back we saw a salamander with its tail halfway pulled off that I spotted while we are running down the mountain we decided to play another game end in the area that was full of trees and we hit a pen Within the area which is Siri annoying when Max decided to hold the pain while we are looking for the pain in the woods. as we were passing another group that decided to start barking at us and I knew Autumn's group. We decided to stop there so we can play another game a tree game where we got to make up our own trees me and Owen we're on the same team and we decided to come up with a tree called the gamble tree where you couldn't tell the difference between the fruit because it looks so someone into a fruit that it could kill you. that's where Mike show does cucumber Roots we all decided to eat one and sketch it as well as soon as we got back down to the bottom of the mountain the other groups are playing Sharks and Minnows and that's where I scraped my knee and hand really bad I promised my sister that I would have ruined the pants but those too late. The bus ride back was quiet except some of the girls decided to play Down by the banks on the bus with the entire bus and then I went home.
