Timberline

Timberline. Wow, what an adventure! Timberline, sweet, what a place! Okay, enough of this. Yesterday was a really good day for me, because our Principal sent us out to the tree line with couple adults yesterday. We went out to Timberline to get some steam wood. During the morning, it was snowing pretty badly, and we had doubts we were heading out from Kasigluk. So, before noon, we had the chance to get out of here with five snow machines, each snow machine hitched with a sled. My class mates and I were all in sleds all the way to Timberline, and riding on sled I didn't like much because the trail was very rough with no snow. Well, there was snow, but that snow out there is pretty darn hard which. I have gone to the tree line many times, so I had the chance to tell my friends where we were at and when we'd get to Timberline. On our way over to Timberline my teacher saw a lot white birds, which she really didn't know of, and she asked me what they were. I couldn't help laughing at her, so i told her they were Eskimo chickens (ptarmigan). It took us about four three hours to get over at the tree line. When we got over to the tree line, our chaperones hogged up all the snow machines and went in to the trees to cut up some trees. There were a lot of high school boys that went, but we all didn't have the chance to haul up steam woods to the sled. That made us upset for awhile, but we got it over with and we all went into the trees being very bored. It was a great day, plus, it was very sunny out. Well, my time is out, so i guess I'll finish this up later.

Great description of the timberline. It was fun to read. I don't think it took us four three hours to get there though :)

One last piece of advice for you... laughing at your teacher is never a good idea :)
