Camping

Eassy #1 Beach or mountains beach or mountains, I would stay in the mountains because there is so much more to do. The mountains have more to offer to your friends and family with four different seasons. When you live near the equator it is one tempter year around and it is always hot. You also have much more natural disasters. When you live in the mountains you have a change in weather from cooler to hotter. This gives you different seasons, to do many activities: like biking, hiking, skiing,…

Reflecting on our five days spent in Retezat, I cannot help but relish in almost every single experience since it was all so new to me. I had never gone on a hiking trip before, nor had I ever spent that much time in the wilderness being able to truly enjoy God’s creation. However, there were two moments that definitely stick out to me as I reflect on the journey: the first being our time at the summit of Peleaga and the second being the night that Paige, Janelle and I spent in the Salvamont…

Narrative essay One Friday night, I was at Lake Fort Phantom with my cousin Wayne. We were at the part of the lake that the excess water ran over into the river. I parked my truck in the grass and out of the way from any incoming traffic. I locked my truck as usual. Then, we grabbed our fishing equipment, and walked to the edge of the lake. The moon was full, and the lack of clouds allowed the light to illuminate the massive body of water. I threw my hook into the water with ease because there…

Every step of our sixty-mile Canadian canoeing adventure was another challenge. As Chris Hadfield said, it was just a matter of working the problem. That’s NASA-speak for descending a decision tree, methodically looking for a solution. The most rewarding part was being the man in charge; from meal preparation to dangerous situations, the final say was mine. Of all that we went through, I think our fourth portage (a “trail” between two lakes that are not connected by a traversable waterway)…

Terrain- You may be wondering, what does the outside area of Cuyamaca look like? Well it's almost a taste of everything. You will cast your eyes upon a vast area of hills and mountains the size of a skyscraper. In other places you will find remarkable wet lands that are packed with eye-catching plants that will throw you off your feet. In addition to that, you may catch a glimpse of the the green yet wavy grass fields. Lastly, you have the noteworthy forests which are loaded with beautiful…

Coming into this class I really don’t know what I was getting myself into. I knew it was going to teach me different forms of diversity and how to act in certain situations. This class would also prepare me for the future. I was overwhelmed when I was thinking about this project earlier in the semester. This was by far my favorite project from this class. I was able to interact with others during this project and it was amazing. I could see the divides in our society. The first clinical…

Have you ever been to Lake Champlain? Well that is my favorite place to go in the summer. I go there once every summer. My cousins have a beach house at Lake Champlain. I like to go there because I get to hang out with my family. Another reason why I like to got to Lake Champlain is I like to play in the lake. My last reason why I like to go to Lake Champlain because I like playing on the sand. That is why I like to go to Lake Champlain. My first reason why I like to go to Lake Champlain is…

The Appreciable Effects of Ethical Hunting There is one place that I love to be to get away from the hustle and bustle of society. In this place I am perfectly content, and don’t have to think about anything that is stressing me out. Every weekend during late Fall and mid-Winter I try to go out hunting deer as much as I possibly can. Something is just so relaxing and stress relieving about being in the middle of the timber or on the edge of a cornfield while I just wait and watch. I can start…

Watchman Hunting Nessie In 1991 Steve Feltham sold his house and set off to live his childhood dream of finding the Loch Ness Monster. Since that day, his home has been an ex mobile library van which he is now based full time on the shore of Dores Beach. Seventeen years he has been watching and waiting on the shores of Loch Ness for one decent sighting of the monster that has to be considered dedication in anyone’s eyes. Since he was wanting to do this since he was a little boy it is more of a…

Day 04: The morning came cold and bone damp. I had rolled off the coyote skins and on to bare rock, fighting them again in my sleep. However, my head still rested on the Semi-soften rabbit skins, having taken them during my restless sleep. My body is cold and stiff as I made my way down to the fire which had burned down to embers. A gentle breath of life brought small flames. Feeding a small branch readying the fire for larger, greener pieces of wood, leaving the drier seasoned wood for…
