Walking and Great Camping Story
Sarah was alone. She had woke to the sound of a noisy bird calling nearby and from there had started wandering. It was getting dark and the forest was alive with sounds. Birds getting ready for bed, crickets starting up their chirping songs, and frogs in a small pond calling out all in a chorus. She sat down next to a large oak to gain her senses. She was disoriented and had no idea where she was at. Sarah glanced around as she held her aching head. She had to find somewhere to sleep for the night as she didn't know how to get back to wherever she had been. The girl didn't even know how she ended up here amongst all these trees.

She sat up and looked around again as she hugged her knees. Which way should she walk? She decided walking in any direction was better than sitting here. So she crawled out, stood and headed back the way she had come. Sunlight streaked through the roof of the forest in beautiful beams of light. Sarah did enjoy the woods, she loved

    Personal Narrative: Hiking The Indian Hill Trail

    The sun shone vibrantly through the trees and I loved the way it complemented the gold leaves. I started to notice the incline to the top of the hill, it was steady unlike the Adirondacks where you go up and down. When I got to the top I saw a spectacular view of the surrounding neighborhoods and way in the distance I saw the buildings of Rochester. As I stood there I admired the pure beauty that lies so close to home. It is hard to believe that a wilderness like this one could be surrounded by suburban neighborhoods. Being higher up and in an open space I could really appreciate the mixture of golds, oranges and yellows it was different than being on regular ground level. I thought to myself ‘’I should do this more often, it’s peaceful and healthy.’’ I felt a certain peace with in me while I’m in the woods, suddenly my phone vibration broke my train of thought. It was my stepmom texting me to see if everything was okay, I replied yes and I’d be back at the trailhead in a short time. The leaves snapped and cracked under my feet on the way back and the crisp fall air made the not yet fallen leaves dance in the trees, it was getting later in the day. I was three quarters through the loop so I was still fine,I wasn’t…
