Personal Narrative: Night Rides
On September 2008 we had plans for the upcoming weekend, which was memorial weekend, we had planned this fourwheeler trip for months, five days and four nights of mudding and four wheeling in Leader Minnesota in a four wheeler park called Spider lake, it was hundreds of miles of open trails ready to be ridden, consisting of swamps, slues, mud holes, and the lodge and a swimming pool, and it consists of the lake, Spider lake which gives it the name Spider lake fourwheeler park, which is located in Leader Minnesota. The night ride, the night rides were fun and kind of sketchy at the same time, but only being able to see 40 feet at a time was kind of tricky since the lights could only project so far, which lead to people misinterpreting how deep the water was, but a couple buddies of ours had light bars and those threw lights like crazy, it was like turning on a light switch at night, the stars were so beautiful and sometimes we were got the gift of having northern lights, and those were a sight to see, it was a blast ripping through the mud in the dark but it can be very dangerous at the same time, we loved to do it though, after the muddy days had past the muddy nights riding had started, after we refueled our machines back up after the day ride we set out for the night ride, we decided to take a trail that we did not know too well which was a big mistake but we thought it would be worth it being it had the best mudding in the whole park, we rode on the muddiest trails we have ever seen, it was one of the best rides to date, we rode until about four in the morning, we were all about quarter tank in our machines and we …show more content…
And to this day we still talk about this trip, and we still talk about the countless other trips we have taken to Spider Lake and we still plan on going for the next years to

    This is my favorite memory because of everything I saw and experienced. I laughed alot at the guys that were on the trip. I would just sit by the campfire at night and take everything in. It’s hard to explain, because it’s something that you have to experience for yourself. I’ll never forget the giant snow drifts, the clear starry skies and the Elk…

    The Fury, the fastest, longest, and tallest rollercoaster on the East Coast. With a top speed of 95 mph and a height of 325 feet makes it the biggest rollercoaster I had ever gotten on, beating the Intimidator 305 by 25 feet. I remember seeing on television and wanting to ride it really badly. It just looked so amazing and since I love rollercoasters and love riding rollercoasters, I knew it was something I had to do. I had ridden lots of rollercoasters before this one such as the Intimidator 305 and the Top Thrill Dragster, which I had enjoyed riding very much, and I figured that the Fury would be just as good. So I asked my parents of we could go to the Carrowinds to ride the Fury. They said yes and we went with my aunt to the Carrowinds.…

    I broke my arm today while getting on the freight train. Thank God I still have an arm unlike some of the other I have meet who have lost an arm or leg and some even know someone who has lost their life ( Riding the Rails). I have done this a couple of time now and I shouldn't have been so anxiety about it but I was. I hide under the track outside the yard like I normally do, waiting for the train to reach momentum so I could get on. I forgot to check for the bull guards who are hired to keep hoboes from jumping on freight. I guess I got too comfy with my environment( Riding the rails). Right when I was getting on the trains, I heard the bull guards yelling and chasing after me. It threw me off my balance and I nearly fell off the train. I…

    Great Wolf Lodge Weekend

    We spent most of the weekend at the indoor water park. There were two different slides where all four of us could ride in one raft. My favorite ride was the Howlin’ Tornado, which dropped riders into a six-story funnel in the beginning. Once you are through the funnel, it throws you back and forth up thirty feet on each side while spinning you around in circles. It was a real rush! We all enjoyed the Slap Tail Pond wave pool, which had three-foot waves every few minutes. We rode the waves on a tube for part of the time and then relaxed in the edge of the water the rest of the time. Fort Mackenzie was a neat four-story interactive tree house with two smaller twin slides called Totem Towers on one side. At the very top of the Totem Towers, there was a giant bucket that filled up with water nonstop. Once the bucket was full, it would dump 1000 gallons of water over the entire tree house and everyone around it. There was so much water spraying from every direction that it was impossible not to get drenched. It was fun and exciting to anticipate when the bucket would empty again.…

    Today is the day we are starting our trip. We have our wagon train ready to go now it's time to leave this crazy city. I have my oxen pulling my prairie schooner everything is going well until I bump into a fancy Conestoga wagon. The wagon wasn't to badly damaged, there was just a scratch, but the owner made me pay him sixty dollars. I almost knocked him out but I didn't want to start off our journey that way. Our first day we had plenty of problems including the little accident earlier we had to dump some of the tools we doubled up on because of an over load issue. I was mad as the dickens because I was looking forward to using those tools. They costed us a pretty penny as well. We made camp after 25 miles for the day. We made a horse shoe…

    It all started when we left from the hotel around five o’clock, hoping to get to the CN Tower on time. We were on vacation in Toronto in mid July, we had just arrived here a day ago from Niagara Falls. When we left we would have never imagined that this would be one of the longest walks some of us have taken. Pleasantly, we left for the CN Tower, which we thought couldn’t be a great amount of distance from our hotel. We were wrong!…

    The cultural event that I attended was Matador Nights and it was this past Friday, September 15th from 9 p.m. - 1 a.m. It was held at the University Student Union and it was free to all CSUN students with a valid student photo ID. No guests were allowed for entry and the also ticket does not guarantee admission to the event, therefore, many students, including myself, arrived early to be permitted inside. Matador Nights provided games and activities such as, laser tag, carnival rides, an oxygen bar, virtual reality games, music, a photo booth, tarot card readings, and free food. This event was a way for students to take a break from their studies and have fun with their friends. Ever since school began, students were passing out fliers informing…

    I remember when I went on my very first road trip to Las Vegas. In Las Vegas I was on the road with my dad for his job, we had to go through Las Vegas. We made it there when it had just started to get dark. It was so beautiful all of the buildings being lit up and all the people roaming the streets. There was music playing people singing and laughing. It looked as if everyone was having such a great time. When we got to the trucking scales there was a guy there, he had given my dad some coupons or tickets to Gold Coast Hotel and Casino. So that night me and my dad parked his truck far away and walked to the hotel and casino. We spent the night there my dad gambled a little while I ate and then we spent the rest of the night in the hotel where…
