Five mile hike

So since i was a staff girl, i was supposed to go on one of the hikes.  Because most of the staff girls went on the three mile they asked me and another girl to go on the five mile.  i didn't think it would be too big of deal.  it might even be fun!

During the hike we were looking for a lake.  So we kept walking and walking this is when i realized that the guide was lost.  So we were lost and we had hiked five miles to get to the spot we were at.  So that means five more miles back down!  poor third years got to experience a ten mile hike.  this may not see as too big of a deal, but in actuality these thirteen and fourteen year olds hike up such a steep mountain that for half of the five miles back most of us slid down!!
We crossed this stream. it was so pretty and it felt good to get a little wet.

Long time, no see, Annika! :)

I was googling for people I've known before, and your blog came up. It's good to see that you're doing alright; we had some good times in 7th grade and at region dances. We've totally gotta talk sometime; my email is munchthenerd@gmail.com.
