I do like nature but I do not get to camp out or go on hikes very much. Come to think of it, I have only gone one hike in my life. And because I live in the country, there are not many places to go camping. And in winter, it is too cold to camp out some where. Although, every year, my parents and I go to New York to visit relatives who live in the Adirondack Mountains. But I haven’t gone camping, while visiting relatives, for about eight years.
The latest time that I’ve gone camping was on a fishing trip that a friend invited me to. The fishing trip wasn’t as fun as I thought it would be because first, when I went it was early in spring so nights were still very cold. Second, I only brought one fishing pole and when I went fishing, there were sticks hidden in the water so when I cast the net out, the hook got caught on one of the sticks and broke off when I tried to reel in the line.
