Tarp tent

The white now-deformed cylinder clung to the carved stick as it melted. Before it could fall to its hot, fire-induced death, I whisked the stick away and carefully scraped the marshmallow onto the graham cracker square laden with delicious chocolate. As I delicately placed the camping creation onto my lips, the background noise of the wind and not-so-spooky stories calmed me as I watched the flames lick at the logs, slowly transforming them into ashes and embers.

our good nights and headed of to bed. We all got in our tent, all four of us. Once we all were laying in our mattresses and sleeping, that's when the rain and thunder started. It was also windy, so that made it worse. It maybe rained for 2 hours almost 3, there was light rain at some points. It kept me up of coarse, but not necessarily everyone else. The worst thing about this storm coming through is that the rain literally went through our tent. It also got most of our clothes, blankets, and…

rapids, the rest of the river is relatively calm, offering a peaceful time while we weren’t trying to flip each other’s canoe. It had been a fantastic first night, and everyone was ready for another day. After a refreshing breakfast, we packed up our tents and supplies into the boats. We reluctantly left the cool sand of the beach to another hot day on the river. The rising sun beat down on us as we first set out.

What a Sport Can Teach a Teen “Success isn’t how far you got, but the distance you traveled from where you started.” When I heard this quote from running legend Steve Prefontaine, I had already known it to be true.

I consider my experiences as a runner to be just as educational as my time as a student. When I started running as a…

Where is my heart? I couldn’t help but feel small while resting in the clouds. Depositing all my trust in the machinery I sat in made my stomach sink, and I couldn’t help but feel the slightest bit nervous. Then it appeared, the country I had no idea I would fall in love with eight days later. Port-au –Prince, Haiti laid directly below me; complete destruction enveloped my vision.

say something but she was already walking away. Looking over at Connor who just shrugged, Bass followed his wife through the streets of Vegas. They arrived at a tent where a few of Duncan's men stood guard outside, letting them pass. The interior of the tent was brightly lit, showcasing a round cage that was currently hidden behind tarps. “You made it,” Gould said as he approached Charlie. “I guess I lost that…

outside because my dad hunts deer in hunting season with a crossbow. In the evening we can go and pick eggs from the chickens. When it’s winter it is the most fun because their is a large hill so when snow comes we have the time of our lives by taking a tarp putting it on it’s slippery side and slide down the hill.…

came face to face with reality one night when my mother and I got lost driving home, finding ourselves along the streets of Skid Row. I vividly remember glancing out from my window, block after block, flashing through the sidewalks lined with tents, makeshift tarps, and cardboard boxes. The sick and the helpless were everywhere.
