Rants From the Road!

Tonight we went on a night hike. I was in the group with rainfall also known as nick (not to be confused with nick the student). I got to experience a number of things today, there was a long car drive with James and our van had a lot of fun. :) Then we got our cabin groups. After that we went on a short hike to see the big tree. Then I got to spend a lovely hour making dinner for everyone. Then we went on a night hike and got to see bats and other night critters. Now we are off to bed to rest for our next day packed full of adventures! :)

Last night was the most intense night camping I had ever had. When we arrived from the night hike it was getting really dark but after the journaling it was so dark I lost all sense of direction and I wasn’t able to find my cabin for the next half hour. When I finally entered my cabin I realized I had prepared nothing. My sleeping bag was still rolled up, my bed was littered with bugs, and Octavio and I had still not swept the spider webs  spiders/ other bugs away.

Hello people of normal society! Just kidding! But he everything is like see the world through the eyes of a wild animal. It is beyond amazing and everything is just beautiful. On our hike yesterday we went to big tree and did a solo hike. During my solo, I heard communicating to each other, literally.  Each bird’s call was amazing and original within itself. It blew my mind. And today we are going kayaking. That is going to be fun and I cant wait to feel the water on my face and get completely wet in the fresh water.

Yesterday was a long day…

After almost three hours of driving we made it to Mendocino, we were quick to start our activities, and started our trip with a hike to “big tree”.  We had a tasty meal of spaghetti and vegetables, then headed out for our second hike of the day; a night hike. The night hike was scary and exciting, and I earned a lot about the different kinds of animals that come out during different periods of the day (and night). We were all very tired after the hike, so we went to our tents and settled in for the night. I must say that it is really beautiful here, but camping is still not my cup of tea!
