Day 2 Travis T Regions

So I woke up and got out of bed successfully not hitting my head on the ceiling. I got changed and went downstairs to wait for breakfast. When breakfast came I sat at my usual table. For breakfast there was some muffins, some scrambled eggs, some orange juice, and some really salty bacon. After breakfast we packed our lunches and got ready for the hike up Firescrew and Cardigan. So I was at my meeting place for our instructor to come, sitting on the big rock. Then she came and we once again picked the leader, cheers person, snack person, lunch person, and map person. We started our hike on the high trail but then turned at a cross section that lead to the top of Firescrew. When we first got to a bare rock place we thought it was the summit, it was not. We stopped at the bare rock summit to take a break because I was about to die. We hiked some more, finding a lot of hobblebush places and it was just fake summit after fake summit with stopping to sketch and me about to die all wrapped in one. But it was great, lots of fun. Once we got to yet another fake summit, we stopped to break alone with some more breaks before that but on this break, we got cookies. I was happy. Then we got to the real summit which was the biggest relief of my life. After that we started up Cardigan because the two mountains were like connected so it was not that long anyway. Once we got to the top we sketched and went in the fire tower which was cool. Then we started down Cardigan then just went on an exploration in a stream where I found a big hole caused by erosion and could fit like three people in are group in it. Then we went to down time until dinner which was tacos and I was pretty good. Then we went to the campfire and did a song battle, some skits, and to finish it of we listened to a story. After that we went to bed and Smith randomly said gibberish in his sleep and then said ,Guys I am awake, only to be sleep talking again. Then I fell asleep myself.
