'The rain had just started...'

ENGLISH 9 JOURNAL ENTRY


THE RAIN HAD JUST STARTED as we got to Lookout Peak, the sky had been dark and dreary for most of the day and it was not as hot, but still kind of warm when you are lugging a 40-pound backpack. It had to have been the most hellish day we had at Philmont and we were exhausted beyond words. IN the vicinity though as we reached, camp what seemed to be explosions of purple light. Despite our physical exhaustion, we continued to build up camp as the raindrops fell.
