THREATS

Very limited budgets

Due to the fact that we are all friends we will be able to get what we need done in agreement which is our strong point, for our weakness due to the fact that one of our friends is in a wheelchair it may cause some obstacles, there is a chance that the vehicle may not accommodate a lift transfer, also this causes some issues going down into the canyon, for our opportunities it would be wonderful for the four of us to see the grand canyon and tour around the area in which we have never been. And threats are caused by our very limited budget, we may not be able to afford more than just the main trip which means we need to supply our own food and beverages just in case, as well as make sure we have the proper money for the trip in general.

    I recently backpacked 32 miles through the Grand Canyon National Park over spring break. My trip leader told me, “Sorry I made you guys pack so many warm jackets and clothes, its usually not in the 90’s during this time of year”. Just like that I thought to myself, I could have had a lighter pack but I also thought about how global warming is real and its everywhere, even in the vastest lands. Like astronomer Lucianne Walkowicz said and I mentioned in my previous paper, “the more you look for planets like Earth, the more you appreciate our own planet” I came to a realization just buy exploring the Grand Canyon how important the rule of leaving no trace behind really is. The Grand Canyon National Park, as well as other parks really enforce this…

    When I was twelve, my father, a member of the Air Force, was stationed on the coast of Southern California for three years. Since my grandparents lived in North Carolina, it became our family's summer tradition to drive across the United States for a yearly visit. As a child, I viewed the annual summer crossing with dread. Being cooped up in our old pink station wagon - with my parents, sister, and two brothers, for six days of monotonous travel - was not something that I anticipated with enthusiasm. At that time in my life, I was unable to understand the importance of those family trips. In hindsight, I realize they provided six days, which were void of life’s delay distractions, filled with cherished family memories and opportunities to learn about life. Certainly, this was a legacy worth passing on.…
