Mt. SHASTA!

Can you guess what I did on the weekend, Mt Shasta! Is that amazing, or what! We started of at 4:00 in the mornin-g. It took four hours to get there! To keep myself from being bored, I played a little bit on my dads I-phone! The rest of the time, I slept. When we went there, I looked out my window, and saw lake Shasta! It was amazing sight to see! When we got there we went to the bathroom, and immediately started climbing. At first, the 30 pound backpack felt like 500 pounds, but later it only felt like 15 pounds. We hiked for three hours until we were really high, but we did not make it to the summit because there were 70 mile winds at the top of the mountain! Our tent would go flying down the mountain. Instead of going to the top of the mountain, we put up our tent on the ridge. On the ridge, the winds were at least going thirty miles per hour! When we put up the tent, my dad fell asleep for 1 hour. In the meanwhile, I made a snow cave with the ice axe! I made it, so my body could fit inside! After a little while, I got bored staying in the tent for so long, so we decided to go back down instead of staying the night. Once we got back down to the car, my toes were really frozen from the ice! When we got down to the Shasta village, we went into a cafe, and had pizza and soda there! When we went back into the car, I played on my dads I-phone again, but after 20 minutes, I fell asleep. We reached our house at 11:50 pm. Please comment on this post!
