Day two at Cardigan by William S. on September 20th 2021

(I was the yellow group)

The class started to file on to the bus, excited for the day ahead. When I had gotten on to the bus I sat down and started reading my book. About an hour later I stopped reading and put my book in my backpack because the bus was getting close to the Cardigan Mountain AMC lodge. When the bus pulled up our class funneled out and formed into our different hiking groups. Our group decided to hike up Firescrew first and then Cardigan. It was slow going but we soon reached the summit… or what we thought was the summit. About 30 minutes later we actually got to the top of Firescrew. We then took a break to eat and explore. We even saw some alpine bogs!

In the end we decided to hike to Cardigan and then hike down from the summit of Cardigan. It took us another hour or so until we reached the summit of Cardigan. We took a few pictures and Lucas did a one handed cartwheel at roughly 4600 feet above sea level. After that we hiked down mount cardigan and we were the first group back. After the group put their stuff on the ground we decided to play 500. (a game where someone throws a ball and determines how many points the person who gives it back to the thrower receives.) Soon the other groups came out of the forest and a while after that the bus came and the day ended the way it started, with me reading a book on the bus ride.

When we got onto the bus we also were st Hopkinton NH. On our
