Selina here. Wow, lots of things has happened! Better catch up! I don’t know where we left off last so, I’m just going to start with arriving at First Beach, in La Push. When we arrived, we had lunch, and decided to check out the beach... in pouring rain! So we put on our frog togs and walked out on the beach. We found some pretty rocks and some amazing smooth wood. The sand was black, the wind was blowing, the water was under 40 degrees, and the sky was a gloomy kind of look, but we still had a blast! After unwillingly leaving, we passed though Forks and bought some groceries. Ever since the Twilight saga, the place was corrupted with Twilight things. We found 19 things that evolved twilight, including a very “interesting” “Jacobs Java”. Anyways, after going through Forks, we arrived at the Hoh, with the rain unforgivingly pelting us still. We found a good campsite and began to settle down. First we began to tarp everything down. Instead of having the tarp cooperate and settle down like it was supposed to, it didn’t and kept on falling down. We wrestled with it for about a 40 minutes, and finally held it up with a contraption of rope, poles, and rocks, and were assigned to do some jobs. Then five things happened at once. Brittany, Sophie, Lizzy, and I began to set up the giant seven man tent, Coumbah, Ms. Donna, Ms. Susan, Ms. Carla, and Rosie began to set up the small two man tent, we each wrestled with the tents as some more girls went to unpack the van, build Ms. Carla and Debra’s tent, and cook dinner. I won’t explain the details, but we ended up rebuilding the big tent 3 times, had Laurel, and Lizzy join it to help build the small tent, had the van explode in a huge mess of clothes, and finally settled down to dinner at around 10: 30. I’d say it was a very busy night.
Alright, the next day, we had to wake up at around 9:00 and quickly dress, eat, and meet this man named John Preston at 10:30 for a bug lesson and tour around the Hoh rainforest. We saw some banana slugs, spittle bugs, hunted for tiger beetles, and saw two different trees grown together. After thanking Mr. Preston, we headed back to camp and had the rest of the day free to just us. We played by the river, got some of our clothes wet and had a blast. Some girls got a headache so we started dinner, had Hawaiian chicken, green beans, an some boiled rice, and went straight to bed. Everybody felt much better after a good night’s rest!
