Day four. Hiked Hi-Cannon

 Day four was our biggest hike yet. Today we woke up bright and early for a massive trek un Hi-Cannon. Before heading out we were told by multiple people to being warm layers and be prepared for snow. Hearing this we were nervous and prepared to have to turn around if it got too bad. The hike was pretty much straight up and ended up being 6 miles long. I was definitely breaking a sweat but the view made it well worth it. It took us 6 hours round trip because we took our time going down due to the fact it was almost rock climbing in the way up. Our total hours for our project is at 19.5 after todays journey. Overall I really like the hike but we are a little tired.

Week 2 reflection

  Kelby Whitehead Hiking in New Hampshire Kelly Griffin-Brown May 21, 2023  Week 2 reflection           Our week as been almost spot on with timing and planning other then throwing another hike in, in our own proctor woods. This is week was very similar to last week with our schedule. We completed Mt Kersarge, Smith Pond and Bulk Head. We hiked these three mountains on Monday, Thursday and Friday. Our book is moving smoothly with next week only having to complete one more page and final touches on the book timing is looking perfect. I’m excited to show the community what we have been working on although I’m sad it’s coming to an end.           Mt Kersarge was a very fun hike and we had a few other groups join us for the adventure. The drive up was beautiful and the day we did it was perfect. The green trees we perfectly lined up the road into the state park. There was even a playgroup at the bottom of the trailhead. The actual hike was pretty gradual but with one straight up boulder ro

Week one reflection

  Kelby Whitehead Hiking in New Hampshire Kelly Griffin-Brown May 14th, 2023  Week 1 Reflection  This week has been a whorl of events in our hikes. We are exactly where we want to be in our project right now with two hikes done and two pages completed. At  the beginning of the week we started this with a plan to do four hikes and two pages which took up all our hours. We completed the Cardigan Hike and Hi-Cannon trail. Both were hard in their own ways but different in what we say on the way up.  Cardigan Hike was very straightforward with few forks in the trail. We saw way more families on this hike and have decided it was a family familiar hike. Although the top is bare with large flat rocks, it is quite steep. I was definitely sweating towards the top. Before you get to the top however it is a gradual hike and has lots of roots and wood steps for solid foot holds. The top was crazy windy but once we got up there we hid from the wind, by the fire tower. We later realized we were allow

Day 2 book work

 Today was a very relaxing but productive day. For the first 3 hours of our work day we just decided to work through our idea of the outline of the book. We sat for a while planning it out on a google doc as well as bouncing ideas off each other on exactly how we are going to construct our book. With everything from the way we are binding our book and to the little things like decoration on the cover. Then we had a lunch break. The last 2 hours of the day we started typing what our day one map page will look like. Although we completed a fair amount we still have more work todo tomorrow.
