Boulder

“But I must go the rest of the way on foot and alone. Looking back over his shoulder as he walked away the boy said, “I Hope you’re here when we return, and thanks for the ride.” Titus stopped and looked from tree to tree, but he did not see Hootie anywhere. “The bird must have gone home,” Titus said, looking back at the mule. The rocks they climbed over or walked around before, have now become small, to large boulders. With all the climbing, and walking around the big rocks, it was difficult to move as fast as he would like. As the sound of the waterfall, and the yet, unknown sound got louder, Titus climbed to the highest spot he could find to have a look around. Standing atop the big rock, Titus looked first at the waterfall, and then from side to side. “There, he said to himself, is something big and green just beyond that clump of bushes, it’s got to be him.” Titus quickly knelt down so he could not be seen by what he thought was the dragon. Rising slowly, he took another look. It was old Big Eyes. Titus climbed down from the top of the boulder. This time he went down the back side of the large rock, out of sight of the pond, and the bushes. Watching his step, trying not to make any unnecessary noise, he crept in for a closer look. By now, he was used to the sound of the waterfall, but the other noise, had him baffled. He crouched low, and would slip from one rock, or from one tree, to another, stopping for a moment before moving to another…

backpacking trip. The air smells like sage and pine -- fresh and crisp, overpowers the salty, moist smell of the other hikers who have been outside just as long as I. The trail is dusty and smooth as we walk up it. Feeling a cool breeze rustling through the tall trees, I get a slight chill but it feels good during a hot day. Finally on our fourth day it was time for the infamous day hike; previous campers and staff had been talking about it forever. It started off like any other hike. We…

When looking at pictures of the scene, people were suspicious that over 300 hundred reindeer…

Boulder Boulder is the best thing I have gotten from a lake. We have so many funny stories about boulder. Boulder is a rock we found in the lake. Holly, Mia and I were swimming in Mia’s lake. I was playing hide and seek with them until all of a sudden I stepped on something very sharp. Not really thinking about it too much I just kept playing the game, I thought it’s a lake there are always little rocks I step one, until I stepped on it again. I got tired it and dove underwater and tried to…

On the morning of December 26, 1996, in Boulder, Colorado life as the Ramsey family knew it would be changed forever (Ng 1). When Patsy Ramsey woke, she found a rather long letter lying on the bottom step of her staircase informing her that her six-year-old daughter, JonBenet, had been kidnapped (JonBenet Ramsey Biography 1).

At CU-Boulder I can see the life I have always wanted to live come together. Everything I love and am passionate about, is there. Leaving the Midwest to live out in the actual West is something I have been longing to do since I was a little girl. On our yearly trips to Wyoming and Colorado, I would stare up at the unforgiving cliffs of Rocky Mountain Range in awe and wonder. My family’s ski trips are the one thing I look forward to most each winter. Skiing is something I have been…

I have had the privilege to work with several great musicians and participate in many musical groups. I participated in my…

formations that we will be examining are the Moeraki Boulders, Farewell Spit and Pancake Rocks. We will look at the process that has shaped these features, how the process influences the environment around them and how people interact with them. Moeraki Boulders Terrestrial The Moeraki Boulders are found on the Otago coast near the port of Moeraki on Koekohe Beach. They have been formed in mudstone by the precipitation of calcite over time. Erosion of the sedimentary rocks has exposed them from…
