The hike was going good but it took so long that in 3 hours they still hadn't reached their 1st stop. Along the way they saw amazing scenery's and many wonderful creatures. Riley was being a little too friendly to a mountain lion cub that was wondering off by himself. Even though Cheryl wanted to take a picture Jim thought it was best that they keep moving because the noise from the camera might scare him and the mom might come running out of no where. Up in font of them there came a river and the only way to get to the other side would be by crossing it. It was too deep to walk across but fortunately there was a line of rocks that peeked on top of the water...
"they are very slippery..i have fallen in once or twice before, so be careful where you step and if you do happen to fall don't panic just try to swim to the edge of the river and i will help you out." Jim said in a softly toned, but reassuring voice.
Jonah was jumping off the rocks like they were trampolines, but Riley was afraid and would not cross. It took William and Cheryl almost 20 minutes to convince her to cross but she didn't even cross the river herself her dad went with her. Almost everyone had made it across already when all of a sudden there were splashes. Right then and there all eyes had turned to Jim. The backpack was dangling on his arm after it had fallen and almost found its way into the river. One of the pockets wasn't closed and the spare batteries for the flashlights had fallen into the river and by the time they had realized it they had sunk to the bottom and it was too deep.

" as of now it looks like were going to have to save the batteries we have and only use the flashlights at night when necessary and in case of emergencies."he said.
Each person had a flashlight so they would have to use one at a time. Luckily Jim was able to catch his pocket light and that will also come in handy. I guess the Resort really promises a real life experience. Jonah and Riley had been walking faster than they rest of them and had seen something in the air that left them wondering what it was. It was glowing and green almost like really tiny floating jellyfish. Before they could follow it everyone else caught up and even though Jonah told Riley not to say anything about what they said she told her parents and Jim but they didn't believer her. Jim said that never before on the island had he seen green, glowing, and floating tiny jellyfish. The sun was almost setting and they had to hurry if they wanted to make it to camp before dark. At last they arrive and with plenty of time to set up everything and even watch the sun go down.
