We went on a HUGE hike up to the top of Spider Mountain. Before the hike, we had made our own sandwich. Mine was made of turkey, lettuce, and cheese. Simple, but tasty. We also had a fruit, chip bag, and cookie.
On our way there, we saw a TALL tree. Then we played Professor hike. This was a game in which the Professor went ahead of everyone on the trail while we played a game. Then, our leaders would send two people on the trail. The professor would “hypnotize” them into believing that they were professors. Then, the next two people would go on the trail and reach the “professors.” The professors would either ask a question or state a fact. After that, the students would continue on the way and eventually meet the professor, who would hypnotize them. Hence, the game would continue until everyone met at a certain place.
After we reached the top, we continued back and reached within the hour. On the way, we enjoyed some edible plants. We tried a plant called Redwood Sorrel, a plant that looks a lot like a clover. It tasted like a Granny Smith Apple. We also had a Douglas Fir that is often mistaken with redwood.
WHEN WE GOT BACK:
· We played a long, but fun, game of capture the flag, in which my team won.
· We played a game of Gaga Ball. In this game, a lot like dodgeball, you were only able to hit the ball with your hand. Also, if a person was hit anywhere other than the foot to the knee, then the person was safe.
· Then we filled out a paper about our leaders.
· Then we had dinner and slept (BARELY).
