Night 4: The Hooded Figure

   Today was our latest day. We woke up and had breakfast at 11:00 a.m. Looking at the winds again, we knew that we would not be able to leave camp for a while so we decided today was a good day to make trip donuts. 
   The majority of the day was spent playing games. We did several rounds of Mafia as well as Zoomie Zoomie. 
   It wasn't until after dinner that the winds finally calmed and we were able to leave. We packed up camp at 8:00 p.m. and made our way to South Twin; our final destination.
   On the paddle over, my campers Keith and Isaac* told me that on our first night, the mysterious man and dark figure were actually them trying to scare the other campers.
   As the sunset, South Twin was in our sight. We paddled around the corner and waiting for us was Bridget. She had brought a wig and robe so when we approached South Twin this dark, hooded figure came out of the woods. The campers in the first canoe saw her and started to paddle backward; he was not having it.
   The campers realized it was a prank and we set up camp in bug-thirty. After camp was set up, the guides sat in our tent until the bugs were gone and then we ended the night with star-gazing.
