Weekly Reflection#2

    To whoever may be reading my blog right now!!! This is my weekly reflection on what I learned this week while working on my wonderful adventurous senior project with my dear friend Lucy Werner!! 

    Starting off with what we learned this week. Lucy and I learned that we both really enjoy hiking. We put up over 12 signs this past week and had a lot of fun doing it. Except for when we got lost near Hopkins because trail forks were not cooperating with us. We learned that we can valuably plan out our days and also have plenty of time to relax if we plan accordingly. This means waking up early before the heat of the day and getting out so we can come back for lunch and rest for a little bit. 

        I loved what we did this week. It was even more exciting than what we did last week. We got to go practice climbing at evo after a long week of specifically focusing on hiking and getting signs up. We had a lot of fun this week and it felt like a reward to get a chance to go to evo and climb many different climbs. Of course we enjoyed being outside and hiking but I think Lucy and I both really have grown to love climbing. 

    Lucy and I contunied to wake up at good times during the span of this week and this helped us to be more comfortable when out in the Proctor woodlands hiking. We also learned that we actually need to get to bed because we botha re a lot more tired than we think we are. 

I am excited to get lead certified!!!

SIGNS SIGNS SIGNS

 Today was quite a day for hiking. Not only was the weather perfect for hiking it wasn't humid nor was it hot. Lucy and I started the day off a little slow with both of us in a food coma we had no motivation to get up and out of bed. But we did it. We got up and out of bed and got dressed in the appropriate clothes for tick and bug season and headed over to Mac field. We hiked and hiked and saw many beautiful and cool sights. It was a big day for Lucy and I. We were able to get up a whopping 9 signs up in the Proctor Woodlands. We were proud of ourselves and we had a great time listening to some good down to earth sounds and laughed a lot. I face planted hard in the ground and lucy just sat above me laughing and yelling at me to get up... would not want any other type of relationship.

  So Lucy and I barely got out of bed on time to meet Rosanna at 930 to make our way down to Concord where we were tested to get lead certified which was a very important part of our senior project! We got to evo and practiced doing some lead climbs beforew we had someone watch over us. Now Rosanaa told us "oh this woman is so nice and kind she will be no stress when watching you climb" Rosanna ended up coming back with an old man who was quite intimidating as he watched Lucy and I climb. Both Licy and I are officially Lead certafied in the outdoor climbing world!!! Lucy and I got back to campus and decided to get to work on our presenatation for express fest!!  Hours done Today:6 Total Hours:51.5
