Field Trip by Matthew Shorty

:

One time we went to Willow Mine on a class field trip. We went up part ways by boat and then had to walk to the camp site. The camp site was about five miles away. About four and a half miles up was a little fishing area. Two of my class mates went fishing. They both caught one fish each but they were small.

Half way between the fishing spot and the camp sight was an old tractor that some of my class mates and I stopped to play on. Then we started towards the camp site. When we got there we cleaned up a little and went for a walk up the mountain. We followed a trail up to the side of the mountain but we had to make our own trail when we were on the mountain itself.

When we got back we found the trash can down and the trash all over the place. The next thing we knew there was a little Black bear standing behind the work building. It circled around to the other side, then it took off. After that we went to bed

It sure did freak us out a Iittle!
