On the trip down to Hunting Island we traveled down road after road after road. After a while the whole team started chanting “Are we there yet", over and over, but we stopped before we got our advisor upset. When we finally arrived at Hunting Island the first thing that we noticed was a little water source with duck weed that had an American Alligator in it. This alligator looked like it could just jump out of the water and onto the little boardwalk that we were on and eat us alive. |
| After we went to the welcome center and grabbed lots of literature to help us with our writing we headed out to the old lighthouse and walked up ten flights of stairs. Which equals approximately one hundred eighty-one stairs after every flight there was a plaque that gave us more insight into the history of the lighthouse, which was built in 1875. Then we went around and checked out the original foundation for the lighthouse keeper’s home. |  |

After checking that out we all went down to the beach where the majority of us took off our shoes and socks and ran through the water. One of our team members even got her pants a little wet and she started to freak out until she remembered that she had another pair of the pants in out advisors car; she then preceded to get her pants soaking wet. All in all the entire trip was very, very, interesting. |
