Forest Hill “It all started one Friday morning”. My family and I were going dirt bike riding at Forest Hill to camp also and its like 3 and a half hours away. Early in the morning is the usual we all meet at my uncle house were I keep my dirt bike in his shed we all get together and eat breakfast it's usually pancakes and sweet bread with milk or orange juice after we have all ate we talk for another 10 to 15 minutes. We start loading the dirt bikes into the trailer one by one after we have load the dirt bikes we put all of our tents and supplies in the back of the truck with our drinks. Once we are all in the truck we drive down our street to honk and see if our friends are ready because in our block we have like 3 other friends
that ride dirt bikes too so we all drive down mission. We stop at safeway to buy food and more drinks including snacks then we head to 580 freeway to start going to forest hill. Once we get out of the freeway I love when we are in the hills because there are lots of up hills and down hills and sharp turning and i like going in my cousins Cummins because its a beast its just making tons of power up hill
Most dirt bike riders have their own place at home to ride around with their family.If you don’t play any other sport this should be one you do so you and your parents can hang out and have fun exploring the outdoors.Think if you and your family had a dirt bike you could go up a mountain and have a nice picnic and enjoy the outdoor nature.

Everybody in Detroit called him “The Man” because he always was a leader and the to-go person in any tough moment of the game. Some people called him “The Gentleman” because he was a genuinely nice person with respect for the game and for others. Joe Dumars, a member of the legendary 1989-1990 Detroit Pistons team, once declared “He is the best player I’ve seen coming into the league for years”. Road to history was wide open for Grant, but luck had some other plans for his career. This is the story of Grant Hill, a story about having faith, patience and love for the game of basketball.
"Children of the Forest" is a narrative written by Kevin Duffy. This book is a written testament of an anthropologist's everyday dealings with an African tribe by the name of the Mbuti Pygmies. My purpose in this paper is to inform the reader of Kevin Duffy's findings while in the Ituri rainforest. Kevin Duffy is one of the first and only scientists to have ever been in close contact with the Mbuti. If an Mbuti tribesman does not want to be found, they simply won't be. The forest in which the Mbuti reside in are simply too dense and dangerous for humans not familiar with the area to enter.
Ever do something stupid to impress someone? Throughout a person’s life they will do something very ignorant or say something very stupid hundreds of times. Most of the time it is because they are trying to impress somebody or change their ways to make someone or others accept them. The story “Haunting of Hill House” has great examples of people changing just to fit in. The author Shirley Jackson, who died in 1965, was one of the most brilliant writers of her time. She was widely acclaimed for her hair-raising stories and novels of the supernatural. Although the “Haunting of Hill House” fits this description perfectly with its eerie description of supernatural tales of the happenings of Hill House; there is a more to it than hauntings. The story starts out with three guests being invited to the house to monitor any out of the ordinary occurrences in Hill House. Throughout the story the guests experience some ghostly moments. However during this one of the guest named Eleanor changes her ways to fit in with the guests. Her actions show that society’s views on a person can lead that person to things they would never have thought of. One example would be when Eleanor told lies about herself and her past. Another example would be when Eleanor went around the house alone having no fear. Finally Eleanor became open and spoke out what was on her mind.
On wednesday we left for outdoor ed. We loaded the buses and left. When we arrived we had a hike into skycroft. Once we arrived we had lunch. After lunch we got into our cabins and then meet at the black top. We had our first activity. My group he snakes went on the history hike. Then we came back and had dinner. After dinner we had a short rotation including five rotations. Then we had cabin time and went to bed. On Thursday we woke up and went to breakfast. After breakfast we had to activities. There was a fire close by so we all had to go to the gym. Once that was over we had lunch and dinner. Then there was a concert and it was fun. After the concert we had cabin time and went to bed. On Friday we woke up and ate breakfast. Then we had
We sat there for a few more minutes then I got up and yelled for everyone to get ready to start moving again. I donned my pack and tightened the straps, and after making sure everyone else was ready, started off down the winding trail to the night’s campsite.
On the way there I stare out the window watching each different fence transition into a field or a busy highway as my dad 's country music is playing. I know when we get to Highland, because we always pass this little white church that could probably only hold 15 people. Once we pull into the rocky road to lead us out to our camp we have to unlock at least 3 fences that are really old and make a creaking noise everytime you open them. We usually see cubs with their momma or some fawns just running around as we unlock the fence to the camp. When we get to the camp my dad unloads all of our heavy equipment, unlock the welcoming door to our camp, and bring everything inside, while he does that I walk to the four wheeler in our little wooden shed and go unlock the big heavy metal fence that leads into the fascinating, wonderland, looking woods and set up our hunting blind. If you really pay attention when you unlock the fence you can usually hear squirrels scratching up and down the trees and you can hear the quiet chirps of the birds and grasshoppers. I turn the fourwheeler on, regretting it, I go about a mile or two too set up the blind in the freezing weather for my dad and I. If you just stand there in the woods you just think about the wonders of mother nature, you never know what to expect from
It was in July, and we wanted to go camping. I asked my dad if we could go up to our family's cabin in Elk Springs, which is near Montrose. He agreed, so Chase, Tyler and I, all sixteen years old, packed our stuff and were ready to go camping. With excitement, we jumped into Chase's truck, and took off to the woods.
Just a valley of nothingness for miles. What was I to do with people I wasn’t even friends with for four days? The mere thought of it consumed me. Then I hear the scoutmaster shout, “Okay boys! We’re going to kick things off with a bang. Your first activity for today will be to locate your camping gear!” Immediately I thought to myself, “what? Are you kidding me?” The day shifted from bad to worse, and I didn’t think it was going to stop there. So here I was with my troop, maps in hand, the mixture of fear and anxiety overwhelming us. We contemplated our game plan for a while. Another scout, who would later become my best friend, broke the silence. “Well, better get going before it gets dark. Don’t want to be sleeping out in the open.” Reluctantly, the rest of us got up and followed.
Every summer my family goes camping in Ohio. We spend the week before packing, bring things down from the attic, cleaning the house, and eating as much food from the fridge so nothing is wasted. On the Friday before we leave we load as much stuff as we can fit into the truck and strap the rest to our roof or in our
We then would race each other back to the campsite where Nancy had breakfast waiting for us. Me, Alicia, Nancy, and her little brother David would all gather around the picnic table for breakfast and engulf our food, jubilant to go to the beach and for our camping trip to officially begin.
Two-thirds of children who participate in extracurricular activities are expected to attain at least a bachelor’s degree, whereas only half of children that do not participate do (National Center for Education Statistics, 1995). Childhood is a very important time in our lives, a time when we develop many vital skills that follow us into adulthood. Some people laugh or scoff at us parents that keep our children to busy schedules. Those same people would also argue that our children should be allowed to have a childhood, to not be so tightly scheduled in their daily lives. Before jumping on that bandwagon, I would suggest doing a little research. Participating in after-school activities has shown to benefit children in many ways. Children should
When I open my eyes and see the bottom of the top bunk I think to myself, "day one of week five." At 7:00, the alarm goes off and I heard the grumbling of eight junior high girls as they start to slowly climb out of their beds half awake. "Rise and shine and give God the glory glory." As my typical morning song continues, I get eight sets of glares from my campers. For some reason it just makes me smile. "I wish I had my blow dryer." "I really want my make up." The usual teenage comment I hear the first day. "Five minutes to finish getting ready before Alpha!" I yell, "I'll meet everyone out side of the cabin!" I found my way outside Mt. Horeb cabin sitting on the picnic table just smiling to myself for no particular reason.
