This one is gonna be pretty short.
Our third day of the mock three-day program we didn’t do very much hiking at all. We went to a nearby stream and did a ton of stream property activities. Our goal was to find out if our stream was healthy or not and test it in various ways.
My favorite part of the stream tests had to be where we calculated the velocity of the stream using a tennis ball. We almost lost the ball a couple of times, but some group members were very quick on their feet and caught it before it had gone further downstream.
The next day I woke up and felt even worse from my cold. I learned that I probably caught some kind of virus or my bronchitis came back. It was hard for me to tell the coordinator I spoke to that I wasn’t feeling at all well for the trip, but it was decided that I’d better sit this one out.
What followed this was two days of intense sleep and feeling a bit better on Friday afternoon. Let’s hope I get better soon for my next hut trip on Wednesday!
