遊山記：我說，他說，她說（9）― 荒郊野地急行軍

(2011-08-05 21:43:24) 下一個

我說：
俗話說無知者無畏，一心想著多燒掉一些卡路裏，我想也不想地選擇了去爬山。我們在這裏露營了三回，去了三次彩虹池，又去了一次大瀑布，雖然需要翻山越嶺吧，都還算是老少皆宜的低度鍛煉，最多算是中難度了。

今天上午的目的地是“manager’s hike”，這是個什麽地方啊？據說是曆史性的鐵路遺址，然後又說遺址那條道被倒下的大樹擋了，領隊決定去Sweetwater Campground。甜水，多麽誘人的名字，帶著對青山秀水的想象，我，老公，兒子，三個人就這樣跟著上了道。

開始還是有路的，走著走著，就沒有了路，見著野草就踩，見著樹木就跨，我問領隊，這樣能找到回來的路嗎？領隊笑笑，專挑倒伏的野草走，就可以原路返回了。他在前麵快速地行走，我們在後麵拚命地趕路，然後野草就變成了小樹叢，一步一蹦地猛踩下去，終於知道了鋼鐵是怎樣煉成的。

到處都是蟲子，衝著麵孔直撞，到處都是樹枝，劃得褲子咂咂。還好穿著厚厚的牛崽褲，同行還有兩位女性，穿著時髦的短褲，不知美腿被紮成什麽樣子了？不過她們倒是很開心，一路采摘著碩大無比的蒲公英，歡快地隨隊來到了甜水邊。

領隊說還可以走遠些，考慮到我們的爬山實力，就到此為止吧。我們享受著水邊的清涼，享受著急行軍換來的景色，享受著。。。請回吧，不然就趕不上午飯了，噢，人生有時還真不容易！

回到了露營基地，看見女兒別在胸前的國旗胸針，想想她倒是做了一個明智的決定，留在基地做手工作品。

吃午飯去了，後麵還有許多節目啦！

兒子說：
Today was July 4th, the last full day of our vacation. For our hike of the day, we went on the “manager’s hike”. It was probably the hardest hike offered in the camp. There were numerous inclines and slopes, and the trail included parts where the wild was mostly untamed. Quite a lot of effort was required to complete it. For the rest of the day, we continued playing in the river. Today, now knowing the good spots of the river to go to and what to do, we brought all our water guns and floats. However, the kids were soon bored of going down the small stream in their floats and started an all out water war. All the kids plus some parents got soaked; I also had my fair share of soaking. From the evening on, things quieted down because of a lack of an organized activity (most people weren’t interested in an animal movie night). My sister was the only one who decided to finish watching the movie, and we went to sleep after that. Tomorrow we go home, and I get my half day of rest before my next activity.

女兒說：
The first thing I did today was make patriotic crafts. I made two American flag pins. Some of my friends, though, made more outlandish things: they were covered head to toe in necklaces, bracelets, pins, and lanyards.

A terrible crime (or injustice) was committed against me. One of the water gun’s pump was broken. I spent the rest of my time on the river thinking on suitable water gun replacements. I considered water guns from the little camp store, but they ran out too quickly.

Today was also movie night. The movie was called Homebound. It’s about pets, which are left at a friend’s house while the family is away, try to find their way back home.

I also partly participated in Movie Trivia. This was one example of its questions: In Inception, how many layers of dreams were there? The answer was three, plus limbo.

I had a good day today. I’ll be sad to leave San Jose Family Camp tomorrow.
