More Than Just a Hiking Trip
... Several college students wanted to get away from the normal activities associated with spring break, so they decided to get together for a hiking trip into the mountains. The five college students named Ron, Yoko, Jamal, Miguel and Maria were attending the University of Colorado and were going to take the hiking trip in the Rocky Mountains. ... Half way into the hiking trip they encountered an unexpected snowstorm that had they checked the weather report they would have known about. ... • Each person has a backpack complete with a few changes of clothing, an entrenching tool, a canteen and a tent • Two cigarette lighters • Enough food and snacks for two days • A map • A hatchet • Two knives • A 7MM Magnum rifle with a box of ammo • Two fishing poles with a tackle box • A hiking cable • Some nature magazines • A flare gun with two flares • Two battery operated lanterns • A first aid kit So there they were in a cold, dark, old mine with little supplies and Ron was injured to the point that they needed more than just the first aid kit they had packed. ... Miguel made the first move and soon thereafter everyone joined in but they did so in a shameful and hesitant manner for they knew what they were doing and they were not proud of it, they just wanted to live. ... After everyone got back to their normal life they found themselves growing apart based on the events that happened on the hiking trip. ... This just goes to show that in every death there is life and in every life there is death and through all of it you have to live with your decisions whether they are good or bad.
