Also, make sure you are drinking plenty of fluids, especially water, not lots of soda. This prevents you from overheating yourselves. Last but not least, while we are all here to have fun, when you are in the canoes, whatever you do… Do not fall into Canoe Lake! 8th grade boy “Okay, okay, we will be careful!” 8th grade girl “Okay, okay we will be careful!” Narrator Boy and girl run and grab their canoes. They are fishing and having small talk while in their
I continued to cast at the bank making long cast for a deeper run of the crank bait. “Get the net” as I set the hook on a nice fish that seemed was going to be a problem since this was my first time actually catching a fish out of a boat. As the fish jumped a couple times out of the water trying to throw the crank bait my partner says “Nice fish” as he nets the fish and lets me know it is about the same size he caught. I was so excited I couldn`t wait to catch another
The high school football games on Friday night are a big event for the community. Everybody knows everybody.

It is the biggest natural lake in Arkansas and is made from the Mississippi River (Arkansas the Natural State Places to Go, 2013). Many people come to fish out of the lake it also has plenty of other wildlife such as alligator, gar and duck and geese during the right times of the year.
Ever since I was a little boy, my family and I have gone to Lovewell Lake every summer. I have endless memories there. Thats why, I’ve decided to take you there. Lovewell State Park contains many winding roads that lead to the different camping grounds. We always camp in the Cottonwood campgrounds.
I've never been fishing before let alone riding in a fishing boat. A couple of hours before the derby was to start my Uncle Deck was to going to teach me the fine "art" of fishing. The thought of hooking my own worm made me want to scream, just the feeling of the worms body sliding in and out of my fingers sent shivers down my spine. It was the most disgusting think I ever felt, but eventually I came over my fear and was able to hook the worm myself, just in time for the derby to start .Although I didn't catch the "big one" but the one I did catch was a twelve pound large mouth bass, it took me about forty-five minutes to finally reel it in. Uncle Deck surprised me before we left the cabin, he had the large-mouth bass I caught taxidermy and mounted on a wooden plaque for me, to this day it still hangs on the wall of my grandparents house.
Some like the Blue Room night club, Topsiders, and the H. Toads hold live music performed by local bands or well known music artists. Also, many people come down to the lake for the great shopping and the big deals they can get at some of the stores. One of the main shopping stops around the lake is the Osage Village Outlet mall which has 110 stores to choose from. Another great place to stop at around the lake is the Bagnell Dam strip which has many stores, places to eat, and the great view of the lake. After using most of your energy from shopping, it’s time to replenish yourself with some great food from hundreds of restaurants located around the lake.
As a boy there were many chores on a farm; jobs as an engineer, construction worker, ranch hand, truck driver, and sailor; and two rounds of the 1,180-mile Alaskan dog sled race (“Hatchet” np). Paulsen's realized that he would become a writer suddenly when he was working as a satellite technician for an aerospace firm in California. One night he just flat out walked on his job, never returning. He spent the next year in Hollywood as a magazine proofreader, working every night on his own writing. He left California and drove to northern Minnesota where he had rented a cabin right beside a lake; by the end of the winter there in Minnesota he completed his first novel.
This past weekend I was able to take a trip out to Charlottesville Va to see the Monticello which is the home of Thomas Jefferson. I had a wonderful time there and I loved all of the views that you get of the great mountain sides inside the house. I took a trip out there to see my old high school football team play in the State Championship game. It’s a little expensive to see the house, it cost us 17 dollars a piece to get a tour of the beautiful place, and it was well worth every penny. The whole place is great from the welcome center, Shops and the Monticello it’s self.
Blackrock Summit Steve 12/3/10 Last summer I spent three separate weekends hiking in Shenandoah National Park with friends. I camped in Loft Mountain close to the southern end of the park, and at the lodges in the Big Meadows settlement. Entering the park on the northern end I drove along the Skyline Drive for a few hours until I reached the Loft Mountain campgrounds. Each night we tried find a good place to watch the sunset and have a few beverages. Our favorite place to experience this ritual was at the top of the Blackrock Summit trail.
It was a hot sunny day in the year of 1998 when my whole family and I went on a trip to a place that was called Bear Mountain State Park. Bear Mountain is located in New York, it along with Harriman State Park combine to cover nearly 52,000 acres of mostly forested landscape with hundreds of miles of trails including the Appalachian Trail, a rich hiking resource close to New York City. They had many activities for families such as biking, boat rentals, hiking, picnics, Ice skating and much more. Bear Mountain is a very beautiful place because of the scenery, the activities, and the entire atmosphere. The variety of trails looping across the rugged landscape, draped upon the Highlands, is a major part of the appeal of Harriman-Bear Mountain State Parks.
