Day 11: July 7

On a hot, sunny, day hiking Mt. Noonmark we were all sweating bullets. It was very tiring. The mountain was very steep, hard, and dangerous. I didn’t even have to use my pump which was a surprise to me because I have asthma.
Hiking down Mt. Noonmark, a brave trooper in my cabin named Kenneth P. sprained his ankle severely. Two of my counselors (Gabriel and Greg) were waiting for a helicopter to come get Kenneth, but the helicopter went to a different person who had a worse injury. So, forest rangers, Mr. Arte, C.J., Counselor Brandon, and the rescue workers had to hike all the way up the mountain to get him. Later on the other half of the cabin came down the mountain safely with the help of Br. Jerry. Once Kenneth got off the mountain, Mr. Arte brought him to the hospital. Fortunately the x-ray results in the hospital showed his ankle was not broken but sprained.
When my cabin came back to camp we did great without the two of our counselors. All of the adults relied on our cabin to be good. Once our counselors heard that we were doing well they gained trust in us. Next morning a remarkable thing happened Kenneth a.k.a. The Trooper was sleeping on his bed happy that he was back at camp.
