"The mountains can be reached in all seasons.
They offer a fighting challenge to heart, soul and
mind, both in summer and winter. If througout time
the youth of the nation accept the challenge the mountains
offer, they will keep alive in our people the spirit
of adventure. That spirit is a measure of the vitality
of both nations and men. A people who climb the ridges
and sleep under the stars in high mountain meadows,
who enter the forest and scale peaks, who explore
glaciers and walk ridges buried deep in snow -- these
people will give their country some of the indomitable
spirit of the mountains."
-- William O. Douglas

of the Sierra Nevada
Yosemite is an important place for anyone who lives
in or near it. Without the things that the Yosemite
forest has for us we would probably not be able to survive.
Two of some of the many things that Yosemite forest
has is fresh clean water and also history.
The variety of location that Yosemite forest has are
phenomenal and hard to put in words. The songs of the
river, the movement of the leave on trees surrounding
the mountains and also the surrounding mountains make
Yosemite essential for San Joaquin Valley. Individually
I think Yosemite is the best place to live especially
if on of your passions is dealing with nature.
 The
water of the Sierra Nevada travels all the way to where
I live and without that natural water we receive I’m
pretty sure we wouldn’t have a healthy life. Especially
with all that contaminated water that people drink all
around the world. For this reason I think we should
protect the forest as much as we protect our lives.
We can protect the water in the forest by no throwing
trash in the river or any other things that would contaminate
the water we drink.
One of the most
important things Yosemite has for us is history. Many
years ago a man named Hite discovered many gold in the
forest of Yosemite. This man made up to ten-million
dollars off of it. The following years men through that
Hite might have left some gold behind so they decided
to search. This is a little summary of Yosemite’s
forest. In conclusion I think we should protect he world
and make it a better place. The world is our home lets
keep it clean.

HIKING - The Spirit of Adventure
Backpacking by myself wasn’t much of a challenge
for me it was more of an adventure. Watching the trail
go further and further made me more excited because
no matter what I knew I was going to make all the way.
I have a spirit as big as the tallest mountain, and
no matter what happens I know it will get higher and
higher each time. Only imagination also goes very far,
as far as I could take it and far enough to envision
things who weren’t really there. Fore the first
time I felt the spirit of adventure and I took whatever
the mountains offered without a problem.
