Anne Taylor Robertson 13

Choice-natural setting
During fall break I went with some friends to Deep Creek Lake in Maryland. It was kind of funny at first because I didn’t even really believe that there was anything in Maryland besides Baltimore and Annapolis and DC suburbs. But the drive was pretty long and we had to go west, really near Pennsylvania and West Virginia. It was absolutely beautiful there. We went on a hike one of the days. It was 12 miles, so it would take most of the day but wasn’t too bad. Unfortunately, I stepped on a rock wrong (kind of pathetically, it could have been a much more interesting ‘injury’) and my ankle started to hurt really badly. One of my friends stayed there with me while the others had to do the rest of the hike back to get the car and come to the halfway point where we were, and where there was a rest area. It wasn’t even a big deal, but it was a funny reminder of how when we are in nature we are out of control. It was pretty cool!
