In mid-September we went on a trip to the Washington coast. 5 days in the wilderness and missed 3 days of school. It was one big adventure. It was not easy and we had many problems but we got through them.
The trip had many fun parts, but the best part was probably cedar creek. It had the most things to do and it’s where I had the most fun. The camp had a rope swing and there was a creek that was really cool. One of my favorite parts was swimming in the creek. We got the 2 warm fires going and we put all of are wet stuff up to dry next to the fire. Then we jumped in the river. It was so cold! It was something I could never forget. We all slept well that night. It was a perfect ending to a long day of hiking.
The most difficult part was the breaker day. Day 3 it was when we had to hike 6 miles over 3 points. There was a bunch of slippery rocks that made me fall a lot. About the third time I fell I bruised my rib. Man it hurt so bad. Mr. Berquist asked if I was ok and I said yes because I didn’t want to make a big deal about it. When we hit the sand it felt like I was walking on nothing, it was so much easier. When we got there all of us were so tired! We all couldn’t wait to take off our back packs it felt so weird not to have 35 pounds on my back I about fell over. We set up our tent it felt so good to rest for the night. Great day of hiking but it was hard.
The most important thing I learned on this trip was how to never give up. At times I wanted to because it was so hard but I fought through it and I just thought about how happy I was going to be when I was done. Man I sure was happy. I did see things that I normally would never see, for example the wild sea lion and the great views of the sea. I’m very proud of my self for doing this. It was hard eating all the freeze dried food that was sick, but at the time I didn’t care because I was so hunger.
I got a lot stronger and I feel like I could do the hike again. Now that I think about it I think I did a good job on accomplishing the trip. I’m very glad I did Adventure Ed because it was a great experience I’m glad I achieved this experience with my friends I will have a lot of great memories.
