Then we had burritos for lunch We used leftover tortillas, Velveeta fake cheese, and dehydrated refried beans. what's funny is that it tasted so good, but at home, we would've thought it tasted gross! That's what we get for being out in the wilderness for 3 days! But some people camping near us gave us their extra variety pack of chips, peaches n' cream oatmeal, and hot chocolate!
Then, we played Capture the Flag. That was fun. Then we saw Brother Kukuk come to came with Brother Jackson's truck! We finally had contact to the outside world! But best of all, Brother Kukuk brought a bucket of KFC, fruit punch, orange soda, root beer, milk, and Cap'n Crunch! I couldn't remember the last time I had fried chicken that tasted so good!
Anyway, we then went to a small area not too far from our camp. That night, we were going to do a requirement for our Wilderness Survival merit badge by sleeping separately out by ourselves with only our sleeping bags. We all looked for good makeshift shelters. Tree branches on a tree work well because they can shelter you from rain and boulders can work because they can block you from the wind. I found a great shelter! It had a tree branches and a giant boulder! Also, Rick was going to sleep by another giant boulder 3 feet away from me!
Then, we went to a huge snow patch next to the mountains.
Brother Kukuk had Dallin and I race each other up to the snow patch up to the top of the mountains. So we're running up the mountain, but Dallin is beating me. We both race up the dried riverbed on the right side of the mountain, but once Dallin gets up to the snow patch on the right, Brother Kukuk shouts to him and says he meant the snow patch on the left! So Dallin has to cut across the mountain over to the left! I try to do the same thing, but I kept slipping around on the snow, so there was no way I could get up over there! So I just head on down.
Dallin was trying to get down, but he was in the middle of the snow patch, so he was moving really, really, slowly down.
Meanwhile, down at the bottom, all the guys tried to move a boulder.
I finally found a good place to cut across the mountain, so I went over and helped Dallin...
... while the other guys kept on pushing their boulder.
Finally, we both got down safely.
And the other guys finally moved the boulder a good couple of feet.
On the way back, Dallin and I said that we discovered a new mountain pass and named it Dalvis Pass.
When we got back to camp, we started dinner. We first had a cheesy rice soup. It was good, but I think it would've been better if the rice was cooked all the way. We then had Minestrone soup. That one was pretty good too.
Our camp got really windy, so we moved to a new camp up the hill. Then, we went and got our sleeping mats and sleeping bags to go and sleep alone in the wilderness. Will we survive? Will we get eaten by bears? Will one of us have to go to bathroom in the night? Tune in to find out what happened on DAY 5!!
