ReplyDeleteOne day three friends named Kyle, Ryan and Mahlik were in a dirt bike race. Kyle was in first place, Mahlik was in second and Ryan was in last place. The jumps were bumpy and the straight aways were smooth. The dirt was dark brown and the grass was shining green. Suddenly we all hit the same stump and went off the track and veered into the Catskill mountains.
In the Catskill the grass was green the sky was blue and the birds were chirping. Then Kyle, Ryan and Mahlik slipped into the gorge and got chased out by bats. Ryan said to a guy named Bill “will you help us fix our dirt bikes we crashed.

The Wilderness
ReplyDeleteOne Summer day in the catskills mountains I was hunting I had shot a deer. So I was heading back to the truck to unload the Four-Wheeler off the trailer so I could put the deer on the rack of the Four-Wheeler so I could get the deer out of the woods easier. So I got the four wheeler out of the trailer. And so I road back up the mountain and on the way back up the mountain I saw that there was a fire going in the midst of the field but I was wondering who was out here well I thought that if I went to go get the deer now so no one else tags it and then I will go check out what going on in the midst of the field. So I went up the mountain to the where the deer is was and I loaded the deer up on the Four Wheeler and bound the deer on the rack with the straps I had brought and headed back to where I had saw the fire in the midst of the field. And I had saw that it was just had barely been put out and it was smoking blackish and grayish colored or it was a dark colored gray smoke. So I tightened the strap that was holding the deer on and pushed the gas as fa
as it would go and I was heading straight for the put out fire and a boy about thirteen years old and he was dressed in deer skin he had deer skin moccasins gloves pants shirt and jacket and he had a hood on his jacket and he had a falcon on his fist and just when I was going to hit him I ripped the four wheeler into a stop and the was powdery snow was every where. I had asked him what his name was he said Sam and then Sam asked me my name I said Aaron. Sam asked me if I wanted to get out of the cold and the snow and I said yah why not. Sam said follow me so I followed him into an enormous tree and his house was inside this tree he had a fire stove and a deer skin blanket with the hair still on it and he had turtle shells and a lamp made out of a turtle shell and a mallet and a shovel mede out of a board. Sam asked me if I wanted some soup and some venison and a few nut meats and I said sure so he made me it and it was so good and delicious I want some to take home with me when I leave Sam said ok. Sam asked me about ten minutes later he asked me if I wanted to skin and dress the deer I said sure lets go so we
ReplyDeletegot it all dressed and he asked me if he could have the deer skin and the fat I said sure why not. so we went hunting for rabbit and pheasant and I said sure lets go so we did we got about three pheasant and three rabbit and the we went back and dressed the rabbit and skun them and we dried the hides and we cut the meat up and smoked the meat and we had dinner. Then we went on a ride on my four-wheeler down threw the woods and the four-wheeler is a seven hundred four wheel drive and it is a very powerful four-wheeler and has allot of torck. Then we went to see if i could get a baby Falcon too but we couldn’t so we went back to the hemlock and it was about 9:00 so we both went to bed. In the morning we went up the cliff to see if there was any there wasn’t so we went looking for food and it was spring and we when we got back to the hemlock and when we did we had tubers we had rabbit meat we had fish we had turtle meat we had acorns we had walnuts we had frog legs we had bird eggs. When we cleaned and gutted and cut the up the meat. After cut the venison up in steaks we smoked all the meat. So we fixed up some tea and some venison and some soup. After we ate dinner we went collecting nuts and apples and food all kinds of edibal plants and bulbs and and roots of plants and I learned allot because I learned that there was so many edible things in the catskills or in the woods or any piece of woods in the whole USA. When we got back we went to see if there was any eggs we climd up the cliff and there was some eggs so I took the smallest one and I went down the cliff with Sam and when we got down the cliff I took off in my four wheeler and put it on the trailer and went hame and incubated it with the old incubator I had up in the garage and plugged it in and put the egg in it and the next day it hatched and I went back to where Sams house or tree and he said it was a lot smaller than what frightful was and he tought me how to train it and I went back home and I had learned allot.

One day I was hiking in Catskill Mountain on July 8th it was also a very sonny day the grass was green so was the trees but the air smelled fresh. It was 9:00 in the morning as i was walking on a trail when a four wheeler came up the hill. Immediately, I thought he was going to run me over, so I ran as fast as possible. The next thing I knew, I was lost. I looked up and saw the dark clouds, so I wondered around looking for a place to stay. When I was walking I saw footprints and I followed the footprints until I saw a boy. The boy had a falcon on his arm, blond hair and a fur coat. He went by a tree and disappeared. I tried to follow him, but I fell in mud. I got my red shirt muddy along with my blue jeans and cell phone. When I was in the mud I started to think about how old the boy I encountered was...I thought the boy was around 11 or 12 year old. I thought again, I am only eleven, maybe that boy could help me get home. I went to the tree where I saw the boy disappear. I decided to lean on the tree and I fell in a hole.
ReplyDelete“Am I in a tree?” I asked.
The boy responded, “Yes, you are.”
“What is your name?” I asked.
The boy responded, “My name is Sam.”
I said, “I saw you earlier.”
“Let’s get out of this tree. It’s dark in here.” said Sam. Sam and I both got out of the tree. I heard the cawing of a bird, so I looked up and saw a falcon with a rabbit in her talons.I said “a rabbit.” Sam hollered, “Frightful, you’re back.” I said “I didn’t know you could eat rabbits” I asked “were do you live.” “I live in this tree.” I looked past him and said “Holly crap.”As I stepped a powwwwwwwwwwww shot of. I looked and saw a hunter his name was James Bond. He was a man with a rifle. me and sam herd a 4 wheeler start and James saw sam and though he was a deer. sam said oh no he tuck of the deer skin clothes. We started to run I though we were running for no reason we got lost. James saw us he tried to hit us but he drove off.I staired then I saw a sign We took a short cut and it seamed like it was no time we got there. Sam said “well good bye and about an hour later I was home.
It was a beautiful day. The grass smelled fresh. The sky was a beautiful shade of blue. Because it was such a nice day I decided to play frisbee with my dog Blaze,named after his bright orange fur. I was throwing the frisbee to him. I threw the frisbee so high in the air Blaze almost caught it when he spotted a blue bird. The blue bird was flying so fast I only got a vague look at it.
ReplyDeleteI thought to myself, I think it might have white on the bottom of its stomach and it sort of looks like the sky and on the top of the bird it was light blue.
My dog chased the bird up into the Catskills Mountain that’s were my adventure beings. When I was chasing Blaze he was running so fast I could hardly keep up with him. So Blaze went on chasing the bird and I just had to stop to chatch my breath and before I could look up he was all ready gone in the distance and I was so worried because I was lost in the Catskills Mountain. I was starting to walk because I had nothing elts to do and I saw some smoke coming from somewere and so I said
“I better go see what it is.”
I got there and I saw a fire going so I said
“Somebody has to be living here”
So I was walking and looking around when I saw a big tree I said to myself I wonder why there is a big whole in it. So I went over to the tree. I was curious what was inside of the tree. Inside there was a boy. He looked like he was my age 13 or 14. He was sleeping at the time I peaked in. So while he was sleeping I was walking around and checking out things. He had a whole bunch of good stuff I saw that he smoked rabbits and fish, also he had flint and dry wood to make a blaze I finally noticed a felcon.
I said “Ahhhh”
After a few minites later I heard a noise I thought that it might be that boy.
Sure inof it was theboy.
He had a coated deer skin coat on and he had blond hiar. It was light blond.
I said “Hello”
“Hello” said the boy .
“Well whats is your name” He said.
“Me my name is Taylor”
“What’s your name”I said
“My name is Sam” he said
“Well can you tell me about how you work around here.”
“Okay I want to learn stuff about nature and then I need to find a way out of hear.”
Sam said “Sure.
First I need to show you how to make a fire and then I need to show you how to catch some food so we won’t starve.Last he showed me around I meet Jessie C. James. He was prrity cool. I also like the Barron weasle and exspecially Barromitar. It was prritie fun. I asked him if he could try helping me get out of the Catskills Mountain.
He said, “Sure”
Taylor and Sam walked throw the Catskills Mountain and Taylor saw her roof of her house.
She said, “Good bye thanks for helping me find my way out of here.”
When I got to my porch I saw Blaze.
I said, “Blaze you came back!”
So they went inside and lived happly ever after.
THE END!!!!

ReplyDeleteI am going out to the catskills mountains to go hunting. I am trying to get a big buck. I went down the mountain and came to a gorge and walked until the end, I crossed and got too close then fell in. Luckily my sling on my gun got caught on a root. Once I got out I went home.
The next day I went back to the mountain and down the other side. When I got to the bottom I saw smock in the sky so I followed the smoke and it lead to a tree were some was living. I went inside and I saw a falcon. But all of sudden I herd a gasp. I turned around and got a glimpse of something. I went out and saw a boy. I asked the who he was and said “Sam Gribly.” I was thinking to my self “Should I go and got the police or should I just keep my mouth shut.” I asked Sam what he was doing out here and he said “I ran away from home a long time ago. I asked him how he knew how to do all of this and he said “I have leaned some of it from a chines guy. Sam said “YA The flint makes a good blaze. Sam said “Some hikers saw him and went to get the cops a day ago. So we went to the gorge where I all most fell in. The gorge has a big cave at the bottom and that is where we stayed until the people where gone. Sam went to his tree and I went home.
