Hiking boot

This past June, my family and I took a trip to Prineville, Oregon to help some of our friends with a couple of events they were involved in. While we were there, one of our friends took us on a hike up Misery Ridge so that we could enjoy the view and the experience. We talked about the hike before, and I was told it was an incredibly difficult hike, but I wanted to try even though I knew it would be hard. It was a bright, sunny day when we set out for the hike, I did not really have the most…

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…

There is a bike trail that she takes and its about 2-3 miles long.

I got invited to go on a camping trip with some friends in the Adirondack mountains, and being 16 years old, my parents thought I was old enough to go on this trip by myself. I was so excited!
