My family and I wanted to visit all the places my dad lived as a kid:

Wyoming/Yellowstone

We drove through Yellowstone and saw bears, buffalo and horned sheep. We also went hiking and saw the Old Faithful.

South Dakota family reunion 

We had a family reunion and we stayed in cabins in the mountains. We were right by a lake and lots of trails. Here I went on my own little adventure for some solitary time.

the beginning of my hike. i didn't know it would take me four hours to get through it. i had no map (stupid i know) no water and no food. this was not a planned adventure. i thought it was just a little trail, not a hike. i got very thirsty and hungry. i had some chocolate in my pocket so i had that but i was very dehydrated. i remembered moss was safe to suck on and i also remembered what kind of water was safe to drink. i drank from the correct streams as often as possible because i wasn't sure when i would get water next. i also met some fellow hikers who gave me a bottle of tea.
