Last year, other than the California trip, the Adventure Education class went on a different trip to the Washington Coast. This trip I knew was going to bad. The first day we had to wake up really early to get to school so we could get on the bus in time. We all arrived at the school and got on the bus. The bus ride was so incredibly long. It seemed like it took the whole entire day. We stopped at a building to get our bear cans and we all stuffed as much food we had into the cans. The rest we ate and shared. When we arrived at the coast have of us got out and started our adventure. We walked on sand for a long time with our backpacks and I had trouble not falling over because it was hard to walk. We had to cross some streams that were pretty scary because we were walking on logs and over creaks with huge backpacks on, I was sure I was going to fall in. The first couple days were fine and we just kept walking and walking for miles and camped for the nights. One of the nights on the trip Carrin and I set up our umbrellas and slept underneath them because we really wanted to see some wild animals! We both fell asleep way before we saw anything. We woke up the next day soaking wet. Throughout the trip we played a lot of games with Micah like Big Booty, and Mafia. Some of us went on rope swings and played volleyball with a rope we found. We also ate mussels we found for dinner one night. On the trip we alone time which was really fun and I slept and ate food while everyone else journaled and explored. One day we started walking and it started raining. I knew it was going to be bad. I got my umbrella out and we started hiking, I couldn't wait until we got to Yellow Banks. Our next destination. While we were walking those miles over slippery rocks, my umbrella kept trying to fly away and flip inside out. It was really frustrating. Then to make matters worse, Megan dropped out tent in a tide pool and it was soaking wet. We finally got to Yellow Banks and the view was amazing. There was a huge cliff with big rocks and over looking one of the biggest beaches I've seen. It was perfect sand, and then water aways out. The bad part was that we were all soaking wet, it was one of the last nights, and I had no more dry clothes. So we had to climb up this mud covered cliff with a really thing, hand burning rope, with our huge backpacks on to get where we could set up tents. We all finally made it up and Megan and I slept in a fort that we found and we were both really mad we went on the trip. The next night was really fun, we saw a beached whale and sea lion, rabid raccoons, birds, and other sorts of little animals. I really liked this camp site. Since our tent was soaking wet Megan and I slept under an umbrella. Megan was freaking out for a while because she thought the raccoons were going to eat us. The next day we walked on a board walk through and rain forest and caught the bus home. :)
The trip was a great experience but let's just say I liked the California Trip a lot better, but it was a life changing experience and I'm glad I did it.
