3 Days in the Woods

By Angela Cheng

A small town called Maple Ridge, a big park called Golden Ears. That's where my family and I went camping.

We went there on Sat. August 5th 2006. After about one and a half hours of driving, we finally got there. We got our tent ready, ate some food and looked around, than the fun started to begin!

Right beside our campsite, there is a lake called Aloutte Lake. We stayed there for a long time, relaxing, reading books and playing around. My dad and I also went walking on a trail called north beach trail (we didn't finish it because it was too hot).

The next day, we woke up at 7:30am, ate breakfast and went walking on another trail (this time my mom came too) called Lower falls trail. In the middle of the trail, there was a beautiful sparkling body of water called Golden Creek. We stayed at Golden Creek for a long time. My mom and I played with the water, and my dad took pictures. After a long walk, we finally got to Lower Falls. It was really cool. The water sprayed down like sand and it sparkles in the sun, it was worth walking that 2.7km. After we came back from the trail, we ate lunch. After that, we went to Maple Ridge for some coffee and ice cream. When we came back, we saw a lot of horses on a field and my dad took a couple of pictures. After dinner, we walked up the same trail to the creek. When we got there, we used a towel to wipe ourselves. When we got back to our tent, it was already dark. It was suppose to be bedtime, but we stayed up and made a campfire. After my dad took pictures of the campfire, we sat in front of it until about 10:30pm.

The next day we had to go, so we put down the tent and were on our way!

Golden Ears Provincial Park was fun, but I could never explain all of it to you. So ... go there yourself!
