Brooklyn
With this trip came some road bumps. Due to the last minute decision to go on this trip nobody packed waters. Or substantial food. As I drove, Mia scanned for somewhere to get sustenance. After 25 minutes, we pulled up to a cramped grocery store. We split up and gathered what food we would need for the next few days. Shannon and Lily came back with Jiffy Pop and potato chips.I stayed with Mia, who located the peanut butter and trail mix. At least we would have a source of protein. We hunt for enough bananas, apples, and oranges for all of us as a small breakfast tomorrow morning. There is no civilization near to get ice to preserve perishable food while we are camping. Also, none of us really knew how to fully cook enough meat for …show more content…
It’s going to be a phenomenal trip and a marvelous night. We gather our belongings and the giant tent we would call home for the night. We followed Shannon down the unmarked trail. She was leading while adding in BS facts about trees she knew nothing about. She likes to be ahead of the group and make jokes to entertain us. The dead leaves and grass crunched under our feet as Lily and I kicked a large stone back in forth, like we were in the World Cup. As we ventured on, a cleared patch of trees was in our sight. We decided here would be an acceptable spot for our tent and a nice fire when it got dark.
Over the years of our friendship (since I’ve moved here at least) we decided to pool our money together to buy a nice big tent for our many nights we spent together; either at a campground by the lake or just in our backyards. This took us almost eight months to save up the money from birthdays, bottle returns, and good-old begging our parents for money. We each have our roles while setting up the tent. Lily gets the poles, Shannon shakes the tent to get leftover spiders and grass out. I pick up the instructions, then toss them back down while becoming slightly insulted that we still need them, just for Mia’s reassurance that we are doing everything correctly. We have become much more efficient setting this up once we get into our rhythm. We all work so well
