While we were travelling, we talked and told jokes. When we got there, we got our equipment out of the bus and waited for our Akela to find the ranger. We couldn’t find the ranger, so we hiked to our campsite and laid our equipment down. Then we unloaded the cars and played with balls. Then we got changed and went swimming.
