Highlights of Arizona

Hi there I am A.C. Berry and I am going to be talking about the highlights that the team nothing but G’S had in Arizona.

Well the first highlight we all could think of was going to the Grand Canyon. If you have not been there, then you should because it is cool. We got to have the opportunity to go and hike the south rim of the Grand Canyon. The hike down was very slippery at some points. But when we got to our resting points the nothing but g’s thought this was still worth it. During the hike we got to see a couple of wildlife creatures. They are the usual, the squirrel and a raven. Just seeing them in our presence was joyful. The negative about us as a group was we did not get a rest day at all. We had to do seventeen miles in three days. That was hurting all of our legs, but we all loved the sites. That’s what motivated us to keep going.

While we where in Arizona we happened to experience the most rain they have had in years. For school, that was not so good for us. So we found a library. When we went there we got our own little corner in the back of the children section. The positive thing was that the library gave us that space so our work could be done and dry. The negative thing about the children’s section was that they had some kind of castle thing right beside us. That attracted a lot of kids. They where running up and down and screaming. But again we were lucky to have this library to work with so we ignored it. The weirdest thing was a play station three (ps3) inside the library.

Earlier I talked briefly about how the weather was bad, but try setting up tents in this kind of weather. That’s what we had to do. The first time we did it there was no wind or rain when we where setting them up. Around three thirty or four o’clock in the morning it started to rain really badly. So bad, I had a puddle inside my tent. Because of the bad weather, we had to go straight to the Laundromat to dry our stuff that got wet. Then we pack up our stuff and went on with our day. That night was the worst for the group to set up tents. Let me just say the winds where going around seventy-five mph with rain blowing as well. So we were trying to set up the tents as fast as we could, but one almost blew away. Luckily for Ben and myself we caught it in mid air and gave it back to the two that were sleeping in it. The last night we were there it did not rain. That was a really good thing for all of us because we needed to get up at five thirty and drive to the airport for our flight back to Atlanta.

The very last night we had an opportunity to go to a Recreational Center. They did not have a pool. The positive thing was they had a basketball court where we played a game of 3 vs. 3. The teams were Andrew, Isaac and I, and our opponents were Ben, Ricky and Laith. Then both Isaac and Andrew quit in the middle of the game. That was not cool at all. But on the plus side we got two other guys to play with us so it all worked out.

As I wrap up these highlights I just want to say thank you for all of your guys support and care. This expedition was very fun, and I am sure every one agrees with me when I say that the nothing bur g’s cannot wait until we go on the Texas trip.
Blog to you guys very soon
