Last Football Game of the Season

Last week we played Chimicum for our last football game as 8th graders. They destroyed us 25-0. We were out coached, they executed their plays perfectly, and they had some talented people. I didn't feel pissed off that we lost because we were beat by an amazing team.

They had a spectacular offense that could run and throw. On there first play they throw a huge touch down pass on us that was at a least a fifty yard pass. The worst part of that was the player who caught the pass was my man. It was 0-7 and we were getting pissed. Then we got the ball and they completely stopped our offense so we barely got anywhere. Now everyone was pissed because we couldn't even get our offense started. They got the ball and scored on their second offensive play. Two plays , Two touchdowns and all it was was a run to the outside or a stretch play. After that our morale was down and it was hard to get anything started.

My Pilchuck Hike

In my opinion the most fun part of the trip was when we got free time at the peak of the mountain. It was lots of fun because first, we got to eat to eat lunch and I was starving by then. After that we allowed to go wander around and check out the area by the firehouse. Also climbing over the geo cash box area was exhilarating because when you looked down to your right it was a huge cliff. The cool part about climbing over the top of that was that it was a lot faster than walking all the way around. I found it hilarious when we went to find the letter box and someone had moved or taken it. Everyone looked everywhere for the letterbox and couldn’t find it. People were going on steep hills to look for the letterbox and looking in all the tree stumps we could find.

The most difficult part of the trip was hiking the mountain. At first, it wasn’t too bad the ground was soft and the incline didn’t bother me at all. Then it started to get rocky and steeper which made it more difficult. The breaks were very helpful because we got shed some layers and hydrate our selves. Not to mention it was loads of fun climbing around on the rocks. After we started nearing the top you began to feel the burn in your calves. It was pretty steep near the top.

The most important thing I learned on the Pilchuck hike is that things aren’t going to happen like you think. On the Pilchuck hike I thought it was going to rain but it didn’t. I was also thinking the firehouse was going to be a lot bigger but it turned out to be really small. Then when we went to look for the letterbox and it wasn’t there. It was very disappointing because we looked everywhere for it. The most surprising to me was the hike I did not think it was going to get that steep. It turned out to be lots of fun and it was a great experience.
