Sidrabene was our first outdoor trip. I don't think it is open to the public but there is a camp you can join. Here are some photos from Sidrabene.
On my trip to Sidrabene after we put our backpacks away, we split into two groups. The groups did the scavenger hunt. First, the group I was in partnered up. Me and my partner did not finish the scavenger hunt. Next we played one or two different games. When we were finished playing the games,we went inside and ate. After we ate, we then left.
Mc Master University was the second place where we have been to. You should go the Mc Master University if you live in Hamilton,Burlington or Toronto for University.
When we were at Mc Master, first, we went for a hike. After the hike, we learned how to make a camp fire and ya let's just say It did not work because it started to snow so the wood not start. We also roasted marshmallows and ate them. Long story short, it was a mess.
At Dundas Valley we used maps and compasses. we hiked on the main loop witch was from 1,000 to 5,000 m. We saw a drainage pipe. Ok now you are thinking, "ok , it is just a drainage pipe. What is so cool about it?" Well, because it was so cold when the water was coming out of the end it froze. Over all, it was a good trip like every trip. Here is the map of where it is and pictures.
When we were at Mountsberg ,we went snowshoeing. At Mountsberg when we walked it sounded like bombs exploding, cap guns, airplane engines. When we went through the forest, you could hear the trees and when we went over the bridge it sounded like wood cracking. It was not too cold or too hot so we were not freezing or not hot. When we were feeding the birds, it felt like someone poking your fingers. When the train went by, it sounded like a pen click when each wheel would go onto the next track. Here are some pics.
At Crawford lake, we went for a long hike and went in these old long houses. There was a hole in the ice that was shaped kind of lake a fish. We saw a lot of these wood statues.
At Rattlesnake point, we hiked for a bit. We saw two dead moles. We went off the trail and saw a raccoon. After we ate, we played a game called camouflage and it was fun.
When we went to City View Park, it was snowy and rainy. We went down a steep hill. We could not see at the look out. We were not there for long because it was snowy,rainy and cold. Believe it or not, it was April when we had this crazy weather!!!!!!
