In May 28, 1892 John Muir created the Sierra Club. The Sierra Club is an environmental organization in the United State. In the Muir Wood I saw the redwoods trees. I can smell the nature is fresh, also I heard the sound of the water went through the stone. The birds were kept singing on the wood. We went through the mountain and go back to the Enter. After the Muir Wood, we went to the Stinson Beach. I saw many people took out their shoes walk on the sand. Next, I had a good lunch with my friends. After that, we went back to the beach, and I sat with my friends to play poker.

At least, my dream self knew exactly where I was going.…
