Hiking in Marin by Aniruddh and Edric
On February 20-22, we went hiking with our groups. On February, 20, the Natomas Charter School arrived at Marin Headlands. We were first introduced to our groups and got our bunks. Soon after that, all of the groups headed to beach. As we went there, we talked about poison oak and played games. When we reached the beach, we saw a California Sea lion swimming west into the depths of the ocean. We played games and checked things off our list of birds, plants, and ocean animals. The first day went by quickly and it was already time to go back to our dorms.
On the second day of our field trip, we started hiking on steep rigid paths going up and down cliffs. There was a lot of ice plant that were growing in the area. The ice plant was brought to Marin Headlands by the army who thought it would help them. While we were hiking, we spotted a pod of dolphins swimming the water. After that, we saw Point Bonita lighthouse. The lighthouse was very old and had a suspension bridge that we had to cross to get there. The light in it would turn off and on every few seconds. We could also see a lighthouse near the Golden Gate Bridge that had a light that was flashing on and off. After that, we saw bunkers and head back the way we came. One of the groups, rolled in ice plant and another group did a space walk. A space walk is where we go on a trail and we each head on the trail thirty seconds after the person in front of us starts walking. After that, we finished our hike for the day and went back to our cabins.
On the third day, we didn’t hike as much. Some groups hiked on to the cliffs and saw a beautiful view of the ocean while eating lunch. Other groups went onto the beach and saw the release of a California Sea Lion. The Sea Lion was injured and was given care. A lot of hard work was given by the Marine Mammal center to help the Sea Lion get better and after all that, the Sea Lion was allowed to be sent back to the ocean. After that, all of the groups went to the campfire and talked about our highlights of the trip, said our goodbyes, and took the long bus ride home.
