Adventure Ed Trip
On Sunday morning the adventure ed class left for the Washington Coast at 6:00 a.m. The first night we camped it rained. Everything was wet when we woke up and it was sandy too, because that campsite was on the beach. We started our second day of walking and had to wade through the water that was about up to my knees! It was cold. Half way through that day i remembered that i left my flip flops there. The next campsite was probably my favorite, it had a big creak that was really deep. At this campsite we saw a sea lion. They walk weird, the front half of the sea lion moves kind of like a penguin and the back half of the sea lion just drags. That night we played mafia a lot of times around the fire and Guy told his story about the Oatmeal Raisin Shack. It was funny. Chase laughed so hard when we were playing mafia that he fell off the log backwards. The next morning we packed our stuff up again and began walking. We had to wait like 3 hours for the tide to go out so we could go around the point. Then when we went around the point we met up with Snellings group for about 15 min. then we continued on. When we could see the yellow hill we knew we were close because we were camping at Yellow Banks. To get to the campsite you had to climb this muddy hill, atleast it wasn't raining. After we got our tent set up up there we went down and Koreena, Hayden, Korey and I all went swimming. It took forever to warm up! While I was swimming I forgot that I left my shoes and socks by the fire and when I got back my shoe had a hole in it, and so did my sock! It was horrible. When we woke up the next morning on day 4 we had been walking for awhile and had gone over 2 overland passes because of the tides. We saw a bear! It was an adult black bear and it started coming towards us a little. We also saw a dead sea lion a few times on the hike. The last campsite was pretty cool too. There were lots of racoons, they took some peoples food and cameras and other stuff. A few of us decided to walk down to see the dead whale! It was huge! Hayden took home a rib bone, The rib bone was about that same size as our backpacks were and those arn't small. It rained that night too, so the tarp that we found that Koreena and I carried since day 2 came in handy, because then we weren't wet and miserable. The bus was really warm and the seats seemed so cumfy after those 5 days. I don't like Mcdonalds, but it tasted so good! The trip was pretty fun and I'm looking forward to the California one. I am not going to eat another cliff bar for a long time! Ok thats all i got BYE

That trip was really fun, I had a great time. That's really cool that you got to ee a sea loin. I agree with yo that Ceader Creek was the best campsite. I think I'm really sik of cliff bars too. I can't wai until the California trip.
:Hey this is Jake L. The adventure ed missed up the football team because some players went to that instead of football. Also that sounds fun. I want to go to California. Football is better tho. Im sry i cant come to the last vball.
That sounds like lots of fun. You must've gotten wet a lot. Of course, you should have gotten wet at least a little, being next to the ocean and all. The thing with the Sealion thing is funny. Penguin walking, draggers. Funny.
Hey Lillianna its Cameron! That sucks that you guys had to wade through water! Are group didnt have to do anything like that although some of us had to carry other peoples backpacks so i guess it all evens out. I liked how you described how the sea lion moved, very funny. Yellow banks was my favorite campsite out of all of them just because it had a really nice beach. I think that we saw the same bear that you guys did because we both saw them around the same place. Well anyways nice blog and I cant wait until we go to California.
That was such a fun trip. Those back packs were hudge. That whale was really stinky. That bone was really hard to take home. I can't wait untill the next trip!
I enjoyed the mafia game too. This was one of our best trips to the coast.
