WOW, Mount Rainier, Greek delicous


























































I haven't posted for a while because I LOVE WOW, World of Warcraft. Its an online mmorpg, so much fun :D. We went to Mount Rainier, huge mountain, I climbed some rocks, but that was tiny compared to the whole thing. They gave us a hilarious paper that said,
If you see a black bear or mountain lion...
Close encounters with Black Bears
  • Never feed a bear, either intentionally or by leaving food unsecured.
  • Do not approach bear cubs.
  • Back away slowly, do not run. Talk loudly

If Charged by a black bear

  • Act aggressively, shouting, throwing rocks and sticks
  • If the bear attacks and you do not have food, fight back aggressively.

close encounters with a Mountain lion

  • Do not run or turn your back
  • stand up tall, open your jacket, yell, throw things
  • stand in a group
  • Pick up and hold small children
  • If attacked fight back. stay standing. hit as hard as possible especially in the head use a stick or rock as a weapon, THROW DIRT IN ITS EYES-

what?!? throw dirt in its eyes? really? like that will do much. Its a mountain lion for gods sakes! But it is better than Yellowstone's rules.

  • lay on the ground
  • fake death
  • roll up in the fetal position
  • suck your thumb
  • put yourself on a giant white platter and cover yourself in gravy.

We went swimming at the coldest lake in the world, the water was from glaciers! If you stayed in too long you would DIE. Polar Bear club anybody? We had delicious Greek salad for dinner, oh how i love my mothers cooking.
