Outdoor Pursuits Hiking and Camping Trip
This Saturday I went a hiking trip to the Allegheny National Forest with Professor Smith and the class. I had a blast the entire time. The only complaint I have is the gnats. Everyone was breathing them in and getting them in their eyes. The hike was a fun adventure, the camp fire games were a blast, and eating food cooked over a camp fire was delicious. I learned a lot of useful tips for hiking and camping on this trip. Learning how pack, how to make the stream water drinkable, and putting the food in a tree so bears won't get to it were the most interesting things I learned. I will definitely go on trips like this now because of this class and I hope others will too.

I agree, the camping trip was a lot of fun! The bugs were very annoying. The bugs were going in my mouth and my eyes, it was not cool. I had a blast with the campfire games. The name game was tough trying to remember everyones name. I liked when we had to tell a few stories about ourselves and some of the stories people told were hilarious! Im glad I got to learn a lot as far as learning how to pack and putting the food in a tree. That camping trip was an amazing experience!
ReplyDeleteI also have Outdoor Pursuits. Our class is the period right after yours. We, unfortunately, are not going for an overnight camping trip. We are just going for a hike this Friday and will probably be back at SRU by 10:00p.m. From what I have heard, the camping trip was really fun and it was a great experience. I also heard that it gave everyone in the class the chance to get alittle closer to each other and become more comfortable with your peers.
