Black Hills

the trail. We were on the open area and just like the sign at the beginning said there were a lot of dirt hills everywhere. We figured out that we had about ten minutes left until we needed to start driving back to the car and then go home. So we decided to hang out around the hills and ride around on the hills.

Also known as Fujisan, this mountain stands at just over twelve-thousand feet. As the morning of the climb approached, my family and I got up early to go to the bus station.

In August 2013, my mother and I picked up our belongings and moved to Richmond Hill Georgia. My siblings stayed behind in Cumming, Georgia to not complicate their already flustered lives.
