Campfire

value or description of what's been removed from its place? I believe it does. On a camping trip in Yosemite, Ca in the early months of 2016. i'm sitting around a campfire, 4500 feet above sea level, 5 miles from where we parked our car, and 323 miles from home. Spring melt has just started in the mountains and the forest is filled with whispers from the rushing river water off in the distance. Eight of us sit around the flames, an orange hue coloring the faces of strangers sharing the warmth. Stories of our journeys to this secluded camping area are being exchanged: the struggles each of us faced as we hiked through the terrain and dealt with unexpected rain in an already frigid day, what trails we had taken and what wildlife we’ve seen- A Blue Stellar in particular who enjoys staying near the camping area to street performer its colors for food - , how long would we be there and where we planned to go afterward and what other national parks needed to be visited. The night is pitch dark from the heavy clouds blocking out the moon and stars, the water-vapor saturated masses liberate themselves of the treasure they'd been withholding, and the sound of light pitter-patter begins as the water changes its composition on its dance back to earth. A couple emerges from the cold dusk and joins us around the campfire. The man is tall and husky, his glasses reflect a shine made from the light of the fire. He peacocks being dressed head to toe in new Columbia hiking gear, the…

the campers staying for the next month. Camp had started. I came to this camp in Canada towards the end of summer - just before school started again. The camp was special. The camp was different. The Base de Plein Air camp is said to have ghosts roaming the halls. Although they may seem unreal, which I thought too, they roam the Maskinonge Lake and forest in Mont Tremblant, CA. On the first day, campers got to meet one and other, play games, and make friends. As soon as everyone arrived, we…

messing around and not paying attention to his surroundings. It's safe to say that all of their clothes and other gear were soaking wet. They had to swim the canoe back to shore and dump all the water out, but the day did get better. Toward the end of the canoe trip for the day, the troop took a stop at a small island called little rock. Everyone had lunch and did some cliff jumping. Once all tired out the troop paddled for another hour to their next campsite and enjoyed the sunset over the…

into an intense game of cornhole. Once the sun set and the adults started making their eminent dinners, we went for a night swim. We brought out some glowsticks and, of course, ended up having extreme chicken fights in which Colton and I paired up and our friend Delaney paired up with Hailee. During these fights, we basically wrestle on top of each other’s shoulders until one of the pairs falls. It seems a bit dangerous and quite frankly, insane, but it's all for good fun. That night, as we were…
