hike report – seattle 02
On May 1st, we set out to hike a five mile historical trail along Seattle. First, we picked up Scouts one by one until we were finally done, then we set off for the ferry and rode to Seattle.
When we actually got there after a small hike up we got to the first spot which slowed us down quite a lot because it had been taken down. A scoutmaster informed us of this; then we started the real hike.
One by one we had the questions on our pages answered (mostly), and we even went to see a 26-inute long video about the gold rush that started in Seattle and would end in Alaska. The video talked about how and why the people were going through such a struggle of a journey, with such trials as the Dead Horse Trail or the mountain which took four months to cross, hiking with all their gear on their backs and trying to get their animals across on top of that. Afterwards, we looked around the museum and found such things as the tools they used and how they would carry their equipment.
After we had finally finished the long hike we took the trolley to the bus, then the buse to the ferry, and the ferry back to our car. We once again dropped all the Scouts off at their houses after a longer-than-expected day. Overall, a hard hike because of thte concrete on our legs for so long.
