My Second Awesome Day at Cardigan

September 29, 2022

On day two we woke up and went downstairs to have breakfast. In addition to this we brush our teeth and got ready for our hike to the summit of Cardigan. It should be noted that we needed items such as, two full water bottles, our bagged lunch, snacks, sketch book, and rain gear. During our hike we sketched alot of interesting things, differing from trees to mushrooms to plantains and mountains. During the hike we saw some examples of human environment interaction. We saw rocks that were put in the ground to lead water off the trails. Once we got to the high cabin we ate lunch and fueled up for the rest of the way up. Without a doubt we sketched more. Once we got near the top we looked out to the view. Right before the summit we called out for the other groups that already got to the summit and they responded and came down to us. Once most of the people were there, Heidi and Erin read us a book about trees. After Seans group went down we resumed our journey to get to the summit, in addition to this we took pictures and did more sketching. Mr Woolner took my notebook and had me sketch the metal plate at the top of the summit. Once we met up with our friends we took pictures and talked. Last but not least we hiked back down the mountain, halfway through we stopped to eat cucumber plants, they were really good and they were everywhere. Apart from this we all spread out and did a noise to sketch, to do this activity, you listened wih your ears and made a map of everything you heard and where you thought it came from. After this we continued our way down the mountain. Once we got to the bottom we went in to dukes meadows and talked about what we liked about the day and what could have gone better. We headed to the lodge and had our free time, once free time was over we had dinner, it was cheese burgers. Along with that, we had showers and got ready for bed. To sum up the day we went to the living area and Mr. Woolner read us some stories before bed.
