| I have very fond memories of different camping | | | | because we would be staying near the river in a |
| trips when I was a child. These trips really brought | | | | tent every night. We started the trip and I was |
| my family together in many different ways and I | | | | designated the navigator, so I was able to read |
| always had a great time. One of my favorite | | | | the map, which I thought was very cool. Most of |
| things to do is to camp in the wilderness. I really | | | | the time the river was very tame, and we just |
| love to hunt and fish, and camping puts you in a | | | | floated down the river very slowly. During this |
| great position to do either one. Sometimes I like | | | | time I was able to fish, and generally be lazy. |
| to just sit out in nature and observe the animals | | | | I caught about twenty perch during the trip, but I |
| in their natural habitat. | | | | was disappointed, because I could see rainbow |
| The hustle and bustle of every day life can drain | | | | trout all around the canoe and I could not get |
| all of your energy, but a stay in the woods can | | | | very many to bite. I think I only caught three |
| really rejuvenate your soul. One of the best things | | | | trout during the entire camping trip. However |
| about camping in the woods is how quiet and | | | | when I did catch these trout it was a lot of fun, |
| peaceful everything is. The best camping trip I | | | | because they would pull the canoe around a little |
| ever took was a canoe trip with my mom when | | | | bit while I was reeling them in. A few of the |
| I was around twelve years old. | | | | sections of the river had some small rapids in it, |
| We drove to Arkansas to take a canoe trip down | | | | and we even went over a small waterfall at one |
| the Buffalo River. The camping trip was scheduled | | | | time. This camping trip was great fun and I will |
| to take about a week, and I was very excited, | | | | remember it the rest of my life. |
