A Kayaking Mess

It was an early July day, it was a nice day, the weather was scorching hot. Later that day I met up with my friends at the park. It was quiet, so I started a conversation. “Hi Zoe, Russell, and Alan, how was your day so far?” “What do you guys want to do today?”,said Zoe. Silence filled the outdoors, so quiet you could hear a pin drop. “I got it we can go kayaking” said Alan. Zoe felt disappointed, but know one could tell. “Great idea” said Russell. “Where are we supposed to get kayaks from?” “There is a kayaking shed at the river in town” mumbled Zoe. “Ok then it’s settled lets go, who’s in.” Everyone wanted to go but I could see that Zoe seemed a little upset. Zoe was trying to change the subject but, she had to endure the fact that she didn’t want to go but they were her friends. Zoe tried to exaggerate to make things seem better. I had some flashbacks, I thought hard about this, then I remembered something Zoe told me she doesn’t

I was going to miss this place. The Namekagon river had many aspects. When we were kayaking we got stuck in a sand bed, so we used our paddles and pushed each other out. One of the paddles broke, so I used half of it and continued kayaking. That’s what I call problem solving. We see deer standing at the edge of the river bank. Alan saw them first because he is a deer. We have about one more mile to go. I know that this fun adventurous trip was almost over. We have reached the end of the river. We tied up our kayaks, and grabbed food to eat. We ate tortillas with peanut butter and chips. After we ate my mom appeared with her car. We loaded and latched the kayaks on the trailer on the back. We loaded the paddles in the trailer too. The food was all gone so we didn't have to pack that. We all got in the car and started off towards home. I seems pretty crazy that a deer, squirrel, dog, and cat would go kayaking but that's what we did and we feel

    Many people believe that Eastern Oregon is void of beauty. The mountains are bare and the air is dry. However, if these folks would follow me to the Snake River for a fishing trip, I think they’d change their minds. If they were to join me on the river, they’d hear the sound of motor boats traveling up the water, and they’d smell the engine exhaust and hear the laughter of the fishermen.…

    The Crevasse “Adversity is the source of our deepest growth and greatest blessings; embrace it, dare to seek It,” that was a quote from Aron Ralston, who fell down a crevasse and his arm was wedged under a rock, which inspired the movie “127 Hours.” One day I was going to the creek with my friends, Matthew and Kendal, to hang out. We had this amazing spot that had a bridge that we made and everything. We were bringing further supplies to add on to the spot and make it look more visually appealing. When we arrived at the park we brought all of the supplies down under a bridge.…

    All I wanted to do was enjoy my day on a Freshman retreat to Camp Tekawitha. On a hot day I got back from my retreat around 5:10. Jaclyn and I talked to our coach two days before the retreat and told her that we would be getting back around 5:00 and probably won't be able to make it to practice. We told our coach around 5:00 because our teachers didn't know exactly what time we would be getting back to school. Since practice was over at 5:30, Jaclyn and I thought it wouldn't be necessary to go to practice.…

    It was 1968. After signing a land lease with the Colorado River Indian Tribes (CRIT), my family would ultimately trade highly urbanized southern California for the vast and barren desert of Parker, Arizona. It was only a few hours away, yet worlds apart. To give you an idea of the landscape, Major General George Patton trained his troops in the vicinity for warfare during World War II. The most extremes of the desert could be found in this region and it would become my new normal.…

    It was a cold summer night and I could see the sun setting over the lake as I was arranging the lawn chairs around the campfire. I tried to dodge the clouds of gnats as I was running back and forth getting all the cards, snacks, and music ready. Just as I finished I saw the thirty teenagers walking up the long path to the camp directors house ready to participate in an evening activity I planned for them. I watched the girls race to get seats on the lawn chairs and helped the others find seats so they didn’t have to sit on the wet grass. The girls were laughing and having fun…
