Expedition 1

This expedition we went to the Ever Glades and paddled for five days with one rest day. Let me tell you what happened on this ex. So first we paddled to the Lopez River. Then we did some school work about Watsons place, and apparently there was a man who lived there named Mr. Watson and he would have people work for him but when they asked for their pay he would kill them and bury them on his land. Then the next day we paddled to Mr. Watsons place and it was a really pretty place and it wasn’t that bad.

Also by this time I made a special raccoon defense system that I can tell you about later. So that night we ran into the problem that the tides where really bad so we had to stay longer. So the next day we did not paddle. We had a rest day. So we did a bunch of school and went fishing and explored. But you see we caught this fish and we were dissecting it for science but then all the sudden there was this creepy choking sound in the woods and all the trees where rustling. It was big and strong and it got closer and closer and then everything stopped and then it was silent. We heard it again that night and the next day we left for Rabit Key.

At Rabit Key we got a bunch of school done and we went fishing. Then the next day we paddled to picnic key and that night the raccoons were bad. But that night they didn’t get a single drop of water or crumb of food. This is how we did it and that night the raccoons where hungry.

The next day we paddled back to the ranger station and started traveling back home. The next day we swam with manatees and it was awesome. They would just love allover you and it was adorable but Sam cheated because he had lettuce in his pocket. The next day we went to manatee springs and we did a service project which was cleaning sea lettuce out of the springs. Also that night we were doing our regular nighttime roles and I was cooking diner but then I heard a rustling in the grass and it just kept getting closer. So I was freaking out thinking it was a boar. So I hopped on top of the trailer to see what it was and then everybody came over. Sam even had his knife out and then a little armadillo popped out of the bushes and stared at us and started running away, and we chased him for a little and we got back to what we were doing. Then the day after that we were on the road back to base.
