Wild Driving Research Paper

When I crossed by the snow covered sign that read “Welcome to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness National Park” and looked at what surrounded me, I was beside myself. I didn’t know that trees could ever be so beautiful. The towering trees were the perfect shade of dark emerald green, and the way the snow piled on them looked like painting. I thought I was living a fairytale. It was the most beautiful sight I have ever laid eyes on.

Throughout my high school career I always knew what I wanted to do. that was to become an airline pilot. With this dream in mind I had no way of paying for all of the certifications that go along with it. Then I was presented with the opportunity to go to Tri-County Technical Center(TCTC) for their commercial truck driving program. Now throughout the last semester I have obtained my Class B licence and working on my class A permit. That brings us to present day and my project. My project consists of learning about the inner workings of our detachable trailer at TCTC. When I say inner workings I mean, how to pre trip the trailer, how to load and unload, and attach and detach both sections. I will have a video in my slide show showing the the product

I first read about the Dalton Highway on a Sunday morning, eating toast in my kitchen, a road trip across it featured in the New York Times. The highway is a cold, desolate stretch of gravel, with temperatures as low as -80°. Like so many other cold glaciers and icy plains, something about this dangerous, empty road captivated me.

Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, Shenandoah National Park provides some wonderful views and scenery including views of the Shenandoah River, the valley, lush greenery, and areas of wilderness. Around 40 percent of the land here has been designated as wilderness and is therefore protected. One of the things that draws many people to this park is the Skyline Drive, which runs through the whole length of the park and is now known as a National Scenic Byway. This is a wonderful scenic drive that enables you to enjoy breathtaking surroundings. Millions of people head here each year, particularly in the fall when the scenery is particularly beautiful

Taking on a journey stretching well over 2,100 miles, covering fourteen states (from Maine to Georgia) by foot is no simple stroll where at the end of the day a comfortable bed and hot meal would await you. Instead, hiking the Appalachian Trail can be an endless battle with all the elements of mother nature: whereas in one state spring would have sprung already with wildflowers dressing the forest floors and insects buzzing through crisp air, on other parts of the trail it [the weather conditions] would be smothering heat, but meanwhile a few states north the rain would fall endlessly with gusts of cold wind, and snow would blanket the pathways of the trail and more than likely blizzards

Do a state parks road trip. Grab your driving buddy and hit the pavement to see some of America’s most spectacular sites, whether you’re into red rocks or really tall trees. Depending on how much time you have, you can see two parks in one trip, like Yellowstone and Arches, Yosemite and Big Sur, and Joshua Tree and the Grand Canyon.

With the hopes that it wouldn't snow, I traveled to Silverton Colorado with my dad in October. My dad and I had six elk tags for the very first rifle season. We pulled our camp trailer down to a nice wooded area about five miles before you get into town. The camp sight was about a quarter mile off of the highway. There were trees all around the camping spot; the only break in the trees was where the road came through.

In the winter can drive snowmobiles to enjoy the joy of galloping on the trail. Special travel agencies can provide outdoor enthusiasts a planned way through the trail and all kinds of outdoor activities with point to point service as well as provide detailed travel guide.

I love hiking the Soberanes Loop Trail with my dad. The first mile or two follows deep into the redwoods, with soft sunlight filtering through the canopy a hundred feet above. The creek babbles and bubbles in the depths of the valley, and birds cry out flying overhead, weaving through trees.

My family drives everywhere so the summer of 2015, we began our long trek north. On the way, my family stopped at many famous areas like the Badlands in South Dakota and other areas. My family arrived at a lake called Lake Sylvan hoping to relax for a bit and soak in the sunshine, while I made plans to explore.

1. Alaska draws pioneers, pilgrims, and countless adventurers to its frozen wilderness for reasons that many can’t see or understand. Whether they seek out nature’s beauty and knowledge like Chris McCandless, or the glory of achievement like climber John Waterman, most find the conditions cruel and unrelenting. Alaska is beautiful, but for many, it is less a refuge than a peril.

Looking forward to the freedom of driving has always been a hot topic, being old enough to drive, getting your driver’s license, and not having your mother drive you around everywhere. Unfortunately for me, my mother won’t let me go near a car unless I have a helmet, shoulder pads, knee pads, and a mini first aid kit. My dad left my seven sisters and I at a young age, yet whenever I ask my mom about him she points up to the blazing hot sun. “Your dad is Helios, God of the Sun,” Although there were people in Kuwait with their own religions, my mom believed in the theory that there is not only one god, but various gods, that control various things.

This personal essay is going to be on my crazy drive to Vermont. Well it all started off with my cousin Max waking me up at 7:00 am.
