I started off on the train at 10:30 am on the morning of Saturday, August 5th. We went and established our seating area and we got ready for the 26 hour train ride. I sat in my seat for the first few hours reading and listening to some good music. When we were going through Carpenteria, I got up and went to the observation car. I stayed there for 18 hours. Then I went back to my seat and sat for a few hours. When I realized we had stopped, I went back to the observation car and observed. We spent 4 hours at that stop in Oregon. We finally got to our destination at 5:45 pm on Sunday, August 6th. After an hour on a bus we arrived at Camp Makualla. We unloaded our gear in our camp and we chose our tents. After we tossed our gear in the tents, we went down for dinner. After a strangly delicious dinner, we all went back to our respective campsites and slept as best we could. The week went on this way for most of its duration. On Wednesday night, I told an amazingly long horror story that turned out to be a comedy. After the week was over we went to Crater Lake. It was amazingly difficult to find my parents as our phones were not working. I got picked up at the Rim visitor center. I was extracted from the scenerio and taken to Eugene for our first nights stay......
