Weekend Trip

Three teens take a weekend trip to Palo Duro Canyon

     Three friends Clay, Will, and Nick took a trip to Palo Duro Canyon. They all three where seniors in high school and like many teenage boys they thought they where invincible.
     This was supposed to be a normal trip to the canyon, but only this time they will have to fight for their lives.
   One Saturday morning the three friends decided to take a trip to Palo Duro Canyon. So they ransacked their fridge and pantry to get food for snacks, drinks, and sandwiches. Then they headed out.
     Once they got to the camp sites they decided to hike and see the outside amphitheater where the park holds plays. After that they started climbing in caves and walking on the trails. Last but not least they went down devils slide. Around noon they stopped and ate some sandwiches after that they went to Sad Monkey Mountain. Witch is a mountain that the Indians horses where forced off during the Battle of Palo Duro Canyon.
   The three boys went back to the car to call some girls but they didn't have any cell service so they just said forget it.
     Then "Why don't we go venture out." Clay said.
     The other two didn't find that to be such a bad idea.  "Ya whats the worst that could happen" Nick said sarcastically. 
     So they biked about thirty miles until they came to sign that said NO TRESPASSING in big bold letters.
     "I don't think this is a good idea",said Will.
     "Come on don't be a girl",said Clay and Nick.
     So they boys crossed the fence. They walked around and saw what no other eyes have seen. The landscape was more beautiful than anything they had ever seen. They walked around in awe, there was more grass and the rivers looked like they did two hundred years ago. Their where twice as many caves on this side than there were on the other side.  All around the environment was just flat out better on this side of the canyon.  There was more wildlife and it seemed like this area was just frozen in time.  It was a paradise.
     "Oh my God, this is beautiful" ,Clay said.
     Around five o'clock the boys sat in a grassy plane to have a snack and rest for a while.  There was a nice steady breeze blowing through the canyon.  The area looked like a green sea.  The grass was moving so fluently in the breeze.  During that time that they started to ask questions.  
     " Why is this part of the canyon closed off and why is the environment better on this side of the canyon?"
     As night started to fall the questions where still unanswered.
     "Well time to head back", Clay said.
     "Who said anything about heading back lets camp here tonight", Nick said.
     The three boys then took a vote and decided to camp on this side of the canyon. The sun was starting to set so the boys decided it was time to look for a place to set up camp. They found the perfect spot, a flat plane and right next to a stream.  The stream had an abundance of fish, crayfish, and other marine life.  After viewing the landscape they started to set up camp.
