Whole day river trip

what I did well?
      I think that I did a pretty good job avoiding rocks, sweepers and strainers. Matthew and I didn’t flip our canoe, we got stuck 2-4 times but we jiggled our way though it.

What I need to improve?
     I need to work on paddling with a better pace.

What I really enjoyed?
     I enjoyed going through the rapids. I also enjoyed seeing the bus and taking breaks.

What I found difficult? Why?
     I found padding for a long time difficult, because it made by arm and shoulder tired.

Would I recommend canoe trip in the futur? Why/why not?
     I would recommend this for the futur because it was a fun experience and I think everyone should try this once in their life.

What is interpretation?

By definition interpretation is  the action of explaining the meaning of something. But interpretation is much more than just explaining the meaning, interpretation is the revelation of meanings and relationships using many different types of objects, illustrative media, and by firsthand experience.  Freeman Tildien- was an American writer who wrote a book on the 6 principals of interpretation. He traveled for many years observing the ways of interpretation in national parks.  Freeman Tilden (1957)

We lifted the canoe and placed in the water sideways, this was becaucuse the river was flowing in the direction we placed the canoe. It was a little tough getting the canoe to move, mostly because of Gavin but when it started moving it was moving good. After everyone was on a canoe and were floating safely, Mr. Colson thought us how to do a ferry. This was pretty easy, Gavin and I got this on our first try. Then we moved on down the river, when we got to the first rapids, Mr.Colson stopped us and told us to go one at a time and to stay staring in the rapids. The rapids were pretty fun, I don’t think anyone got stuck at these rapids. We saw some sweepers and strainers through our whole trip. Kalean and Tyler were the first ones to get stuck, they got stuck in a sweeper. Then Jayden and Nathan got stuck on a ...
