Pisgah National Forest In July 2005, my mom, sister, brother and I went to the Pisgah National Forest, along with another family, who are also our neighbors. We went for a week-long outing in the mountains. Since it was summer vacation—our dads were working—it was a carefree getaway for fun. Even though it was a six-hour ride, it was worth every minute. We rented a little cottage on a creek, which is where we spent our mornings catching everything we saw that crawled. Then we’d get in our bathing suits, make peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and be on our way. Every day it was a new place. We would hike in the mountains and find waterfalls that were good enough to jump from. We couldn’t wait for lunch. Each picnic was more exciting than the last. We would eat our lunch sitting on rocks, with our feet in the water planning where we’d set up our picnic site the next day. This is now a tradition for both of our families that we will never forget. Lindsey May, 13, Waxhaw |
