Turkey Run-Personal Narrative

Improved Essays
The most eventful thing I have done this summer was going to Turkey Run. It’s two hours away from Wheatfield, and it’s in Marshall. The drive was pretty long on the way there, my mom had to run an errand or two and then we went to McDonalds for lunch. Then we just continued our drive there. We entered a different time zone on the way there, it was an hour ahead than the time here in Jasper County. When we got there, we explored the place.

When we finished canoeing, that’s when we changed our clothes because they were wet and got in the car to head home. We went to a restaurant and ate before we continued our trip back home. The trip was pretty fun, I didn’t really mind most of it, but the only part I didn’t really like was that there wasn’t internet in the

All of this was true, until I decided to run a marathon.…
