Nestled in the Pisgah National Forest is Brown Mountain. Located in Western North Carolina, this mysterious location, which lies on the borders of Caldwell and Burke counties, has been the place of many sightings of a phantom light since the 1200’s. The story behind the lights was first told to me by my mother. As it went, a plantation owner went out hunting one night but never returned. He was a kind man and treated his slaves very well. Because of this, one of his slaves set out to search for him carrying a lantern. The light seen is said to be the slave with his lantern going out every night, even into death, combing the mountain searching for his master. After some investigation, I found other accounts of what the lights may represent. The earliest accounts of the Brown Mountain Lights were by Indian Tribes. The Cherokee and the Catawba believed the lights to be the torches of Indian women searching for their men following a ferocious battle between the two tribes. There was so much death and carnage, that their souls still haunt the mountain searching for their warriors. Another story tells

Toas Blue lake is a gorgeous clear lake located in Taos, New Mexico. The indigenous people living there called the Taos pueblo, have had a long and hard history with this sacred location, especially over the past century. Having had their land and respect stripped of them by the government, they then turned to protest. As one of the oldest continuously inhabited communities in the United States, it seems odd that Rosevelt would consider taking a place so sacred and “designated (it) as a “multiple-use” area for recreation, grazing, and extraction of natural resources” (Dzelzitis).

Australia and Everest, two different climates, locations, and ways of life, yet people come to both for breathtaking adventure. In sixth grade I found out my family was moving across the world to a city called Wollongong in Australia. Here my adventure began from going to an all girls school to hiking in the Grampians. Everest is a place only a few people want to tackle, but it leaves a memory for all who climb Everest no matter how old. A new adventure is what brings people to places whether it is a city in Australia or the top of the world. In Wollongong, I was scared to start my first day of a new school full of strangers with funny accents in a place I had only dreamed of. My dream and my desire to explore new places came true, and now I have the key to unlock my new adventures. Those people dreamed of climbing Everest and did unlock an exciting but scary truth. I was a girl scared to go

The first time I every experience the Wildcat Hills was during a difficult time in my life. My parents were going through a custody battle over my siblings and me. They were also both in the process of being remarried. So, when my step father brought us to the Wildcats to explore for the first time I realized how amazing our earth can be. Here in the county known for the Scotts Bluff National Monument, sits over 1,000 acres of land. It wasn’t just the sight at the top of the escarpment that took my breath away. It was the fact that whether you were at the bottom of the hills or the top, when the wind blew that’s all you can hear. It isn’t overwhelming, it is

Mount Jeez overlooks the Malabar Farm and much of the Pleasant Valley. In its actuality it really is just a big hill. Mount Jeez lays in a great line, like a spine of land, providing a crystal clear view of the sky. The rumbling and roaring white wave surge down the mountain side, at some point the wrinkled mountain seems to be cocoon quite whenever a right of snow covered the sky punching the mountain. During the winter season, the snow festoons the mountain peak and embalmed with the tiaras of the powdery snow, while the foot of the mountain is covered with mist in the morning. The purple sky reflected the beautiful and flaky snow that covers the mountain like a blanket while silence remains in the air as the animals sleep and hibernate in the winter. The mountain normally remains white-peaked but nothing like the neat line. The snow normally reaches down the cap in craggy white fingers and the trees shine like jewels in the sunset. The view
