okay, so yesterday was my biology hike. it was 12 miles in the columbia gorge (the oregon side), and we hiked up to a really awesome waterfall! so once we got there, we started on the trail, but we went really slow because we were looking at tons of stuff and asking questions and filling out our bio sheets. then we picked up the pace, and after about four miles or so, we stopped for lunch. and we were invaded by chipmunks!!! there were like five of them wanting to eat our food! they were so cute though! i wanted to take one home sooooo bad! after lunch, we went across this really really high bridge that was appropriately named, high bridge. it was so cool! we threw rocks and leaves down and it took them a pretty long time to reach the stream below! so.....we walked and walked, then the cliffs started getting higher and higher and there were more and more rails to hang onto. and we made it to the waterfall! it was soooo pretty! and huge...and there was this tunnel that took you behind the waterfall and it was soooo awesome! then, after taking a couple of pics, we turned around and started the other six miles back to the cars. once there, we changed our clothes because they were most likely covered with poison oak oil.... so when i got home, my mom had to wash all my clothes really good. but on the way back , we stopped at pietro's pizza.... and there i ate four pieces of pizza! a new record (for me at least!). then almost the whole ride home, we sang christmas and disney songs in opera and bad harmony, then were really bored but couldn't sleep! and once i got home, i took a nice, hot shower! the whole hike was amazing!!!!!..... but....now i'm really sore!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
well......i'll cya guys tomorrow !
