Campsite

not to anger the gods by sacrificing the remains of the animals to the gods. I became frantic and had no clue what to do at this point. I was thinking about leaving the campsite and saving my own life, or should I warn the others and plan to defend our families. I chose to defend my family, so me and my friend lurk past the campsite. Quite as a mouse, at this point my heart is pounding! This is it my chance to prove to everyone that I can do something…

Yellowstone park includes over three thousand square miles of lakes, canyons, rivers, and mountains. The National park is bigger than Rhode Island and Delaware combined.

THE FISHHOOK By:Jackson Gray Fishing, it’s fun right, not if this happens it’s not! One summer afternoon I went fishing off a dock with my Uncle Andy and my cousin Logan. At first it was just us fishing, a nice family get together. A little bit later Mom and Dad came to watch us fish. We kept fishing and fishing and then it happens! I sat down unaware of the fishhook stuck in the cracks of the docks. As I put my hand down I felt a little pain. Then it got stronger and stronger and then in…

The Flinders Ranges On Friday we left the campsite at 9.00 and enjoyed visiting the Railway museum at Peterborough. During this tour (led by a newbie who needed to read her notes), Ben decided on his career move. He was going to obtain a railway and run a steam engine for tourists. Over the next few days this was more solidified in his mind. While walking into Wilpena Pound, there were many animated and detailed discussions on how he could make a request to the South Australian Government…

Bags packed, cars loaded, and over thirty boys wide awake to start a new adventure at Camp Hi-Sierra. Every year, my boy scout troop and I take a week long trip to a traditional summer camp to build upon our outdoor skills: sailing small boats, shooting shotguns, and welding metal tools. This year, I was excited to lead these group of men after I was elected to serve as the Senior Patrol Leader of the troop, a position that requires maturity and experience. A long eight hour drive was upon us.…

The great ranges spand from the north eastern tip of Queensland down southwards to the edge of New South Wales eventually ending in the west most part of Victoria. In total the Ranges length rounds off to a distance of 3,500 kilometres, long enough to earn it the title of third longest land based range in the world. The width of the range varies slightly along its length from…

My monologue is based on the topic of terror and isolation. My inspiration for this text sparked from the TV series ‘Lost’. The extreme emotions portrayed in the series intrigued me and spurred me on to write a piece of my own expressing these themes of terror and isolation. Another inspiration is an experience of my own from when I was younger and ended up lost in a large shopping centre. This was a moment in my life when I myself experienced these extreme, terrifying emotions. My monologue is…

One of the greatest places I’ve visited, in my short life, is Fisheating Creek. Now don’t get me wrong as much as I enjoy a good stroll through downtown, nothing beats the great outdoors. Fisheating Creek is a narrow camp ground with a creek parting it down the center. It is a camp ground, so of course you’re surrounded by a plethora of thick hardwood hammocks and cypress swamps. To top it all off there’s practically no power so the only thing to admire at bedtime is a great starry night. So…
