Halfway down the driveway, feelings like fainting from exhaustion, almost there, couple hundred more feet. Austin, Nolan, Jaden and myself are running to the hay bales nearest my house. This is the source of excitement of our pathetic lives as sophomores. Four stories of hay bales are stacked by twenty bales wide.

For my place narrative assignment, I chose to focus on a place that I not only visit frequently, but truly appreciate: Mount Douglas. This is a place I value not only for its beauty, but for the calmness it allows me to experience as a result of being part of nature.

This history is significant both ecologically, and culturally, and is something I have enjoyed learning about.

Los Angeles has great places to go for snow. Bear Mountain is the most popular destination for snowboarders due to its multiple and ever-expanding terrain parks.
