A few hours in we drove by this huge hill and my dad said that it used to be a volcano but he also said that we couldn’t stop to check out out because we didn’t have time. We had decided that we were going to say Friday to early Monday morning. After that we had a few hours of just crying baby and switching radio stations to find music to listen to.

As we arrived we saw this cool spot where you stood on a rock and you could see over the canyon. We took a few pictures then we walked around a little bit. After that we went to the next spot but we had to take a bus because no cars were aloud. At that place you had to take a little hike to the edge of the canyon. So we did but it was a small hike. As we arrived there was this older man walking to so we had asked if he would like some help. He said no thanks because he wanted to do it before he dies. He had also asked us to take a photo for him and we said sure. Then we went to the edge and saw this cool little cave. My dad said it might have been used for mining a long time ago. After that we hiked back down and waited a little bit before the bus came to take us to the next spot. We had decided to skip this spot because we were running out of time and it wasn’t that cool. When we had got to the last stop of the day we realized this place is really cool it had a little stone fire place a little building that you could buy food and snacks in and then we noticed this little path way that said path into canyon and that is a path that my dad, some of his friends and I are going hiking on spring break.

    • 3 Pages

    Did you know that Flagstaff got its name from a random person striping a pole and making it a flagpole?

    It was 1981. I had just graduated from high school, and another four-year commitment to “education” was the last thing I wanted to do. The problem was that all those other things required money, and thus a job. Unfortunately, at that time the country was in a severe recession, and the only state that seemed immunized to it was Texas. I had to make the decision whether to leave my birthplace, my family, and my friends or to pursue a new life and adventure over a thousand miles away.…

Visiting Florida taught me many skills on being independent, mentally, and how easy and fun it is just to be to yourself sometimes. It all started Christmas eve when I got home to find my presents from “Santa” there before we even went to bed.
