On a commencé notre dernière journée à Knoxville en dormant un peu tard. Enfin! Presque chaque jour il fallait se lever tôt. On y a marché vite parce que le café fermait. On a mangé ce qui restait et on est retournés à notre dortoir. Puis, on a eu une conférence d'équipe où on a décidé de faire nos bagages, les mettres dans le bus, et puis conduire aux Smoky Mountains. On a fait nos bagages et on a mis nos chausseurs pour marcher (randonner). On a vite mangé le déjeuner avant de partir aux Smoky Mountains, M. Garvey a pris des photos et puis on a commencé la randonnée. C’était dans un forêt et on devait rester sur le chemin parce que M. Garvey a vu des plantes dangereuses (poison ivy et poison oak). Les randonneurs qui allaient dans l'autre direction, nous ont dit qu'ils ont vu quelques ours - une mère et deux bébés dans un arbre. On a marché jusqu’à une vieille cabane et on est entrés dedans et puis M. Garvey a pris encore plus de photos. On est retournés à l'accueil du parc national et avant de partir, M. Garvey a pris quelques autres photos. On est retournés au dortoir, mis nos t-shirts de MN Toad Trip et on est allés manger le dîner, qui était mexicain. Puis on est partis au "closing ceremony."
Nous étions très excités quand il a dit « Middle Level : A New Angle. » Notre nom n'était pas annoncé, mais on pourrait trouver nos scores à la fête après et on espérait qu’on était dans les premiers 10.
We started our last day in Knoxville sleeping in a bit. Finally! Almost every day we had to get up early, and we knew that we would have a long day, night, and bus ride before us. We walked fast because the cafe was about to close. We ate what was left there and headed back to our dorms. We had a team meeting in the common room where we decided to pack our bags and then drive to the Smoky Mountains. We put on our walking (hiking) shoes and had a quick lunch before leaving. After an hour and ten minute car ride, we arrived at Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Mr. Garvey took some photos, and then we started our hike. We were told to stay on the path because Mr. Garvey had seen poison oak and poison ivy. The hikers going in the opposite direction told us that they had seen some bears – a mother and 2 cubs in a tree. We walked to an old cabin and we went inside. Mr. Garvey took some more pictures. We turned back around, and at the tourist center Mr. Garvey took a few more pictures before we left back to the dorms. We put on our MN Toad Trip t-shirts and had dinner, which was Mexican. Then we were off to the closing ceremony.
We were excited when the annonceur said “ A New Angle: Middle Level” Our name wasn't announced, but we couldn’t wait to get to the party and see our scores, because we knew we had done a good job. We hoped we were in the top ten.
