Monday: Here I am, in the middle of nowhere. This
camping trip idea is not getting off to a very good start. It’s raining and the
tent leaks. The hiking seemed to take forever, and I still can’t understand how
it could all have been up hill! How did I ever let my brother talk me into
this? When we get home—if we ever get home—he’s going to have to do something
great to get back on my good side. Maybe he should sponsor a shopping spree(狂购)at the mall!
Tuesday: Things are looking up. The sun came out
today, so we were able to leave the tents and dry out. We’re camped at the edge
of a small lake that I couldn’t see before because of the rain and fog. The
mountains are all around us, and the forest is absolutely beautiful. We spent
most of the day dragging out everything out of our backpacks or tents and
putting it where the sun could dry it out. Later in the afternoon we tried to
catch the fish for dinner, but the fish were smarter than we were. At night we
built a fire and sang songs happily.
Wednesday: We hiked to the far side of the lake and
climbed to the top of a small peak. From there we could see how high the other
mountains were and how far the forest spread around us. On the way up we passed
through a snowfield!
Thursday: I caught my first fish! We followed the
stream that fed the lake. After about two miles, we came to a section that
Carol said looked “fishy”. She had a pack rod(竿),
which can be carried in a backpack. I asked to cast it, and I caught a fish on
my first try. Carol caught a few more. But they were just too pretty to eat for
lunch so we put them back in the stream.
Friday: I can’t believe we are going home already. It
will be nice to get a hot shower, sleep in a real bed, and eat junk food, but
the trip has been wonderful. We’re already talking about another camping
adventure next year where we canoe down a river. It’s hard to believe, but I
think this city girl has a little country blood in her veins.
