Tent city

the focus on the important parts of the story and makes it easier to follow and comprehend the story line. The objects I 'd select to illustrate my very own story include a tent and camping equipment, my passport, a toy plane, my suitcase, running shoes, my medals and lastly my wedding ring. The first set of objects – tent and camping equipment – represent my dearest childhood memories. Growing up in Europe, I spent countless trips into the mountains, hiking and camping. My youth was shaped by…

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,…

Narrative Essay Till this day, I still remember the first time my family and I went on a camping trip during the end of summer a few years back. This trip had been planned for almost a month from the date we were going. That month seemed to take forever to come but when it finally came, everyone but my little brother wanted to go. The reason he did not want to come was that he was afraid of getting lost or something else worse than getting lost. The only thing I was afraid is mosquitoes. I…

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…

I am so happy to finally get the trip started. I meet up with my friends and we take a ferry to our campsite. We take the truck to the campsite and start setting up camp. I set up my tent on the edge of the river we were staying on. At this point the only thing I had in mind was getting a pole in the water! So, even before I had all my stuff set up I took the canoe and went fishing. The scenery was breathtaking as I paddled up this…

Pitching a tent without poles is a difficult task; sleeping in one for a week is even harder. The wind blows at the feeble attempt of shelter, constantly swaying the loose tarp scrappily tied between two trees. The rain seeps down through ill-positioned window flaps to create a permeating dankness. The supposed place of refuge from wilderness becomes a suffocating box as the canvas slowly collapses and sinks to the ground. Of course, prior preparation and remembering to bring along the poles can…

faces unable to talk due to the stickiness of the marshmallow clamping our mouths shut. The only thing that could be heard was the attempts to scrape the gooey mess from the roofs of our mouths. My dad put out the fire and we all cram packed into the tents, me being sandwiched between my fidgeting siblings. I slept soundly with the sounds of crickets and wind filling my…

When you think of camping, do you typically envision tents, grass, oak trees and bears (oh my!)? After spending the weekend camping in the vast Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, my notion of camping expanded tremendously. Let me set the stage by laying out just a few of the splendors you’re likely to encounter on the trail: sand, wild flowers, palm trees, and, if you’re lucky, big horn sheep! If you stay the night, you’re sure to see some tents and campfires too, so no need to reframe your entire…

Big Foot Finder Embarrassing Camping Trip. My morning was not going well for me; I keep getting told “Hurry up Shieanne! We need to get on the road,” and by getting rushed I start to panic, and then my mind went blank. Thinking I grabbed ever thing; I hop in our F150 Ford truck read to go camping. “Did you get everything we ask you to get?” my dad ask; I look at him with a blank look and replied, “ I think so...?” My family and I love camping, but camping does have its bad perks like from:…

2015 that Dan and I decided to make our first camping trip of the year. This particular road trip was not like the many others we have pursued. When we arrived, we were led by the event staff of Hoopla in the Hills to an open field. We pitched our tent and canopy in the breezy ice cold morning. We hung beautiful tapestries on the canopy for a secluded yet magical hangout spot. We placed a table and two chairs under the center of the canopy. On the table, we had a box of tissues, a big bag of…
