Kanuga

Monday: On Monday had to get up at 3:15. To get to the bus at 4. I was so tired on the bus that I even slept on the bus. It was worth getting up at 3:15. We stopped for breakfast at Hardees. Then we stopped for a rest stop and we got some snacks at the vending machine. Hardees wasn't bad. We had to drive all the way up to Hendersonville. I was sitting next to Evan. When we finally got there someone told us what to do next. We met all the instructors and then went to went to our cabins. There was a boys cabin and there is a girls cabin. We put our stuff on the bunks.  And then we had lunch.  We then assembled our groups. And we had our first class. My first class was mountain ecology. We talked about nature you want to solo hike and we went on a hike. We found a catipiller and a black snake. The solo hike was really fun.  Then we had some free time. We had dinner with hopping. 
Hopping is setting up the table and putting the food on the table.  For the night program we had a naturalist come. We saw salamanders, snakes and a groundhog.  That night was really fun. After that we went back to our cabins and slept. I slept good that night.

Tuesday: On Tuesday we had to get up at 6:30.  We had breakfast with hopping. And we drove for an hour to the rafting center. Then we drove for 30 minutes to the river. I had a really fun time rafting. Our raft was in the back. The guide showed us how to paddle and we went on the river. There were class 2 rapids and class 3 rapids. The guide also gave us information about how the river formed. We did several rapids and then we stopped at a rock to jump off of it. The rock was probably 20 feet tall. I jumped off of it and so did other people. That was really fun. Then we went on a few more rapids. And we stopped at a beach for lunch. For lunch we had sandwiches and cookies. Then we had a little bit of free time on the beach. So far rafting is really fun. We went on a bunch of class rapids. And we finally stopped. We went back to the center.  And we rinsed off and we changed  clothes. Rafting that day was really fun. Then we went back to our cabins. We had some free time. And we had dinner with hopping. That night we had a fire inside. We did a bunch of fun activities. That night was also really fun. Finally we went to sleep.

Wednesday:  On Wednesday we had to get up at seven. We had breakfast with hopping. That day we went to the climbing tower. The climbing was super fun, we got to climb on little rocks. That was a once in a lifetime experience. Mrs.G even went on. I made it to the top. Some people didn't but it was still okay. Next we have lunch. We packed up and put all of our stuff on the bus. Then we left. Kanuga was extremely fun. On the bus we had time to fill out our journals. We went to a rest stop.  We had cicis pizza for dinner.  Mr. Nye payec for all of our dinner. That was really nice. Then we kept on driving and we finally reached location. We arrived around 8:30.
