Adventure on a lake

A few weeks ago, I participated in a camping trip at Pitt Lake. I

spent three days and two nights there.

It was a new experience for me, so I was both nervous and excited at

first. Fortunately, the weather was beautiful, so we got off to a good start.

Because there were so many participants – including both instructors (教

练) and students – we had one big canoe (独木舟) and one smaller canoe.

I chose to be in the smaller canoe with my friend Mitra, but we soon

found that this was not a wise choice. In order to keep up with the bigger

canoe, all of us had to paddle (划桨) hard. My arms quickly became sore

and my hands became numb (麻木的). To take our minds off of the pain,

Mitra and I played “20 questions” while paddling. In this game, one

person thinks of an object and the other person asks 20 questions to try

and figure out what the object is. We had a good laugh before we finally

arrived at the campsite.

We started a campfire soon after we arrived. At night, we gathered

around the fire, roasting marshmallows and listening to horror stories.

Some of the other campers put their wet shoes and socks beside the fire to

dry. However, because of the wind, one pair of socks almost caught on

fire. Everyone panicked (惊慌) – one person got so scared that he fell out

of his folding chair. Everyone thought it was pretty funny!

The time flew quickly. Soon, it was time to go back. We were not

willing to leave and agreed that we would hang out together again

sometime soon.
