Day 3- Hope and Gull Rock

This is Elai reporting on our trip to Hope. It was a very slow ride down to Hope. The bus driver was going about 15 to 25 miles per hour and I could tell because I sat up front. On our way we had a lot of laughter in the back of the bus. Many of the students that sat in the middle, near the mountain spotted mountain goats and other means of wildlife, while the other just stared blankly at the moving less body of water that stood beside the road and our bus. As we took our bathroom break, many kids were anxious to get off the bus and wander around. Some even used the disgusting, stinky toilet, while those that went wandering tried to wake up their sleeping body parts. As we passed the many trees, the students started to wonder when this bumpy ride would ever stop. When we pulled into Hope our fellow champions went rushing to the food as their stomachs growled. We grabbed our fishing poles, threw on some fishing gear and dashed to the river to yank out those mouth-watering pinks and silvers. One of us got slapped by two pinks and was left with a scar.

Hi, my name is Daniel. I’m going to tell you what happened on Wednesday. Today was a sunny day out and the trees were super green. On the bus ride some people saw some sheep on the rocks eating. When we got off the bus in Hope half of the kids went hiking and the other went fishing. I went hiking with the fast group. The people that went farthest were Joel, Jamie, and Brandon. On the way down some people saw a bear, some saw bear poop and a rabbit. When Brandon and Joel saw the rabbit, they started to chase after it. Now we'll hear from Sebastian.

Here at Hope there's combat fishing with peers for fun, getting bites and catching fish, some are lucky and some are not. Fish fight for fleet while you fight for fish, it has either been caught or lost. Silvers, Pinks, and Humpys in the Hope River. Only got nibbles and no bites, if I did their would be a fight and I would have a fish. Maybe if I go back again, then maybe I will catch something. Several students caught a salmon, bringing it home for dinner or maybe for a dog to eat. No worries, I had a lot of fun, there will always be next time in the hot summer sun.
