Field Trip Adventures

By Harrison Mellen

The first day of my field trip for me was at the Circle F Dude Ranch. There were so many fun things to do like kayaking, horseback riding, canoeing, tetherball, ropes courses, and so much more. When we were heading there I was put in group one which meant that I would go horseback riding first. After they went over instructions I was given a horse named Luchese. I eventually got on Luchese and we were off. It was so much fun to ride in a line of horses in the forest. One thing that was really nice about it was the horses cooled you off when they swung their giant tales. Overall, my first time horseback riding was awesome.

The second thing I did at Circle F Dude Ranch was the ropes course. We had two options to choose from. The first option was a tower that you had to climb up to and the second option was a giant swing. I chose the swing because I have never seen anything like it. People pull you up while you are hanging and when you get to the top the guides tell you to let go of the rope and you drop and swing back and forth until you eventually slow down.

The final adventure I did at Circle F Dude Ranch was the lake. When we first got there I went kayaking which was so fun. After that, I swam with my friends. My favorite thing was how there was a platform to jump off of. The Circle F Dude Ranch was awesome and I hope to go back again sometime.
