            When day two got started I was super excited because I knew it was going to be a good day, I got enough sleep and I was really excited for the hike ahead of us. The first thing that we did that day was get up and have some breakfast, after that we got ready for hiking. In my hiking group we talked about what route we were going to take. We set off into the wilderness where we first stopped to talk about an old farmland and the old stone wall. We set back off to hike. On our way to the top we stopped to get a good look at the foliage and the mountain view. Then We sketched the treeline then headed to the high cabin to have lunch. For lunch we had a ham or turkey sandwich, some cheezits, granola bar, and a apple. Then we set back off into the wilderness. When we got to the alpine zone (the part where it is almost only rock) we got another good view of the the other mountains also we took a break. Our instructors told us that we wouldn't be able to go to the top even tho we were less than 500 ft away from it. Even when the other hiking groups came down from the summit and told us it was really close. Eventually we convinced them to let us go to the summit, we got really excited and started out accent to the top. Once we got there it was awesome the wind was really strong. We were all really happy. After about 10 minutes at the summit we started our descent and it hurt my knees a lot. We got to the AMC lodge where it was free time. During free time Iplayed spike ball with my friend. Afterward we headed inside for some dinner, then we headed back out for the evening activity witch was doing funny skits with you hiking group. We went back inside to have story time then went to bed. Day two was awesome and it was the most fun day that I've had in a little while.

            When I was at Cardigan there were a lot of things about movement. Movement is the people, things, ideas, move across the earth both two and from. One of the movements is the lodge because someone had to have an idea to do that from a different place. A second thing of movement is the idea of the dinners they come from all over the world and people brought that idea to the cardigan mountain. One of the ideas for dinner is pasta which originally came from China. Third, one of the things called water runoffs is when people put rocks on the trail for the water to go off the side and not damage the trails. Fourth, us humans made a fire pit. Fith, the trails were an idea that people had. Sixth, people put a fire tower on the top of the mountain. Lastly, is the Carens that people put on top of mount cardigan. These are all the movement things and ideas that I learned about movement.
