游山记：我说，他说，她说（9）― 荒郊野地急行军

我说：
俗话说无知者无畏，一心想着多烧掉一些卡路里，我想也不想地选择了去爬山。我们在这里露营了三回，去了三次彩虹池，又去了一次大瀑布，虽然需要翻山越岭吧，都还算是老少皆宜的低度锻炼，最多算是中难度了。

今天上午的目的地是“manager’s hike”，这是个什么地方啊？据说是历史性的铁路遗址，然后又说遗址那条道被倒下的大树挡了，领队决定去Sweetwater Campground。甜水，多么诱人的名字，带着对青山秀水的想象，我，老公，儿子，三个人就这样跟着上了道。

开始还是有路的，走着走着，就没有了路，见着野草就踩，见着树木就跨，我问领队，这样能找到回来的路吗？领队笑笑，专挑倒伏的野草走，就可以原路返回了。他在前面快速地行走，我们在后面拼命地赶路，然后野草就变成了小树丛，一步一蹦地猛踩下去，终于知道了钢铁是怎样炼成的。

到处都是虫子，冲着面孔直撞，到处都是树枝，划得裤子咂咂。还好穿着厚厚的牛崽裤，同行还有两位女性，穿着时髦的短裤，不知美腿被扎成什么样子了？不过她们倒是很开心，一路采摘着硕大无比的蒲公英，欢快地随队来到了甜水边。

领队说还可以走远些，考虑到我们的爬山实力，就到此为止吧。我们享受着水边的清凉，享受着急行军换来的景色，享受着。。。请回吧，不然就赶不上午饭了，噢，人生有时还真不容易！

回到了露营基地，看见女儿别在胸前的国旗胸针，想想她倒是做了一个明智的决定，留在基地做手工作品。

吃午饭去了，后面还有许多节目啦！

儿子说：
Today was July 4th, the last full day of our vacation. For our hike of the day, we went on the “manager’s hike”. It was probably the hardest hike offered in the camp. There were numerous inclines and slopes, and the trail included parts where the wild was mostly untamed. Quite a lot of effort was required to complete it. For the rest of the day, we continued playing in the river. Today, now knowing the good spots of the river to go to and what to do, we brought all our water guns and floats. However, the kids were soon bored of going down the small stream in their floats and started an all out water war. All the kids plus some parents got soaked; I also had my fair share of soaking. From the evening on, things quieted down because of a lack of an organized activity (most people weren’t interested in an animal movie night). My sister was the only one who decided to finish watching the movie, and we went to sleep after that. Tomorrow we go home, and I get my half day of rest before my next activity.

女儿说：
The first thing I did today was make patriotic crafts. I made two American flag pins. Some of my friends, though, made more outlandish things: they were covered head to toe in necklaces, bracelets, pins, and lanyards.

A terrible crime (or injustice) was committed against me. One of the water gun’s pump was broken. I spent the rest of my time on the river thinking on suitable water gun replacements. I considered water guns from the little camp store, but they ran out too quickly.

Today was also movie night. The movie was called Homebound. It’s about pets, which are left at a friend’s house while the family is away, try to find their way back home.

I also partly participated in Movie Trivia. This was one example of its questions: In Inception, how many layers of dreams were there? The answer was three, plus limbo.

I had a good day today. I’ll be sad to leave San Jose Family Camp tomorrow.
