One of my most precious memories is the night me and a group of my friends went on a camping adventure. It was just turning into Fall, probably around late September, and we all decided that it would be a good night to go deep into the woods, and just hang out this one night before it got too cold. We started setting up camp at around 6, and it was already getting dark. We had to make several trips up to where we planned on camping, and that was probably about a mile walk. Once we had brought up all the equipment and set up the tent and everything, we realized that we didn't bring any fire wood. So we walked back to my friends house, and when we got there, another one of my friends just happened to show up. We were all excited cause we weren't expecting to see him, and he stayed with us as well. For the rest of the night, we just hung out by the fire, and had a good night of hanging out.
The next morning, we all woke up at around six o' clock because we wanted to get the day started early. We broke down camp, and went back to my friends house and made peanut butter sandwiches. After we wolfed those down, we were all really excited to go on an adventure through the woods, on our way to the general store to buy a pizza. As we walked through the wilderness, we were all laughing and having a good time. One of my friends went berserk, and knocked over a substantially large tree. We all cracked up, even though we were all a bit frightened. But eventually we made it out of the woods, and on to this dirt road near where i live. We walked around a corner and down a hill on Old Sawmill Road, and as soon as we reached the bottom, you could see Bungee Lake, and it was honestly one of the prettiest things I'd ever seen. The sun was shining so bright, and vivid, and the warmth it gave off was magnificent. As we kept walking, we came across a dam with a bridge over it. We walked over the bridge like we normally would, but as we were coming to the end of it, my friend looked down and saw the largest snapping turtle he ever saw. It was easily twenty-five pounds, and it was quite the shocker. We wanted to play with it, but that probably wouldn't have been smart, and we knew it.
We still kept walking, making our way to the store, and by now we had probably walked three or four miles. We were coming down this very steep hill on a back road, and at the base of the hill was a little private beach. We took a break there for a while, and just relaxed for a bit. Once we started walking again, we noticed a dog tied to a tree. At first glance, the dog looked like it only had three legs, and it was really quite shocking. Everyone freaked out for a few seconds, and then we looked back at the dog, and it had four legs and was completely normal. Who knows why we thought it was three legged. I guess your imagination just gets the best of you sometimes. Anyway, we kept walking to the store and got there about fifteen minutes later.
Once we got there, one of my friends went in and bought some soda and ordered a taco pizza. It's all that I wanted to eat, and we were all talking about it the whole walk there. Myself and everyone else went outside and sat at some picnic tables. It was nice to have something to drink, and just chill for a bit. After waiting for twenty minutes after ordering the pizza, the waitress came out and told us our pizza was ready. My friend went in again to get it, and as he went to pay, he realized that we were three or four dollars short. So instead of the woman just allowing us to get the pizza she had already made, she took it back to the kitchen, and left us out to dry.
At this point, i was really angry, and hungry, and just ready to go home and relax. I had a fun day, but it was time for it to end. So we all walked back to my friends house, got picked up, and that was it. Nothing really too eventful happened in this specific memory, but it was something that I really enjoyed, and won't ever forget.
