Day 3 of our adventure trip was very eventful. For today's exploring, we fought off black bear, spiders, moose, and many other scary, big things! In reality, we did not need to fight off anything tough because we are the toughest people to come along yet and all the animals can sense this.
We began our day by traveling to Ferg's Bog that was not too far from our Antler's campsite. This was an interesting learning experience because it was the first time I have been out on a bog. I ventured about 3 feet off of the dock-type path that had been made for visitors like us. A spider quickly chased me back to the walkway and the exploring was left up my fellow classmates/adventurists. On the way, we saw lots of neat things such as sun dew plants, blueberries, and wintergreen!
After the bog, we, explorers of the Adirondack Park, headed off to climb to the summit of Black Bear Mountain. It was about a 2.5 mile hike to the top. Easy as pie for adventurers like us! We took fascinating pictures from the top and even ate lunch up there, sharing the cool air with the clouds and birds. On the way back from climbing Black Bear Mountain, we stopped to taste-test the ice cream stand in Inlet, NY. The beauty that the Adirondacks offer is amazing and I feel blessed to be a part of it.
