A Fantastic Hike Shared With Friends!

Safe and Sound in the Trinty Alps

Hi world! So we just had a 6-hour drive that was NOT fun. Other then that the trip is really cool.

Hey. It’s Talia. The first cabins had a lack of electricity, so that was slightly frustrating. Now we have a stove, a fridge, lights, and bathrooms. Clara says hi. I miss listening to my music, but that’s about all of the electricity that I miss. Todd’s computer is hard to type on so this is slightly difficult. I gotta go, we are playing a giant game of telephone.

But here is a haiku:

Our class is awesome,

This is a true fact, of course.

I super love them.

Clara is having fun.

Thoughts From The Road!

Hi, this is Katrien Van Riel. Today on our 8^th grade trip, we went to the tide pools, but it was really cold, and it was high tide, so we couldn’t explore the tide pools. L I got really cold because I changed into shorts, and went in the really, really cold water. We also went paddling in the river, in kayaks. I was in a 10-person group, with Tucker, Thomas, Joanie, Pearl, Ashley, Roxie, Audre, and Eleanor (the teacher). That was also really cold… we raced upstream and downstream, and splashed each other with our paddles. I was really cold and wet when I got back to camp… and since the boys had first dibs on showers I couldn’t take a shower that day. It was also raining, so that didn’t make it much more fun… However, later I got to warm up inside the dining hall in front of the fire. I hope I will be able to sleep in this cold weather tonight. I couldn’t sleep much last night because I was so cold… But I had a fun time nonetheless. I can’t wait until we go to or next stop at Trinity Alps. I hear we get real beds and our own bathrooms! I hope more fun memories await. Good night!

Hello likes the trip. It’s pretty tight and we take lots of hikes. But there’s bugs and crap in the cabin and it smells weird. Still fun though. Only second day so don’t rely know what’s happinin. Going somewhere else tomorrow. Ha-ha

We did a lot of hikes and stuff. The cabins at Trinity are way better than the ones at Woodlands State Park. There’s a kitchen.

Highlights from the road through 05/18/11

Hi it’s Clio,

I’m writing at 7AM from our deck. It’s really cold but our sleeping bags are warm. We have a kitchen, and fry water (no pots or kettles) every morning for tea. It’s a really nice cabin but we don’t get much sleep!

Hi it’s Ruby,

Yesterday we went rafting and it was a lot of fun. Our boat was the best because we had Octave and both the water guns (Clio disagrees). We got everyone soaked but that meant they got us soaked too. At the end of the trip I jumped off a giant rock into the river. James attacked Octave and we had a big water fight on our boat. It was hilarious even when I got hurt trying to save Nico. It was all good, though, because I got to come back to my cabin and take a warm shower.

~Ruby

Hey there! It’s Isabel, reporting from the deck of our beautiful cabin with actual electricity and our very own shower! Heaven! I’m also drinking nice warm tea which we made in our very own cabin in a frying pan. However, we’ve learned the hard way not to use the oven if we don’t want to have the fire alarm go off in the middle of the night, and have to run to Todd’s cabin banging on the door, only to have him ignore us thinking that we were being attacked by the boys and that we deserved it.

Hi everyone!

Yesterday we went rafting along the Trinity River. It was AMAZING!!! I think that if I had the option of rafting again, there would be no hesitation within my answer; a definite yes. However, the car ride that we experienced from Mendocino to the Trinity Alps was not appeasing. The eighth grade trip has been amazing so far and don’t want to leave tomorrow, but I’ll be happy to be back in my own comfy house.

~Joanie

Hello, its Carlo. We’re having a lot of fun out at the Trinity Alps resort. We have done a series of exciting activities, such as our extremely dangerous, and adrenaline filled rafting trip yesterday. All of us got wet and practically froze to death, due to the rapids, the growing competition and rivalries between rafts and a science teacher named Todd who splashed everyone, even the people on his own team. Though there were many feuds and arguments in the water, it was all in good fun. After the trip, I front flipped off a large cliff into the freezing water. It hurt and the bruises on my back can explain the rest. After that, I’m pretty sure numerous 8^th graders took showers. Then for the rest of the day, I played ping-pong, and walked around playing the guitar. Shout out to our hosts at the Trinity Alps Resort for being so gracious to make such delicious food. It’s been a fun week so far, and I am sad to see it end. I hope all the current 8^th graders have had as much fun as I have seeing these moments as the last couple of moments we will all spend together as a class. I will remember these days forever.
