Beauty in the Cliffs Sunday, Aug 10, 2008
The car bumped mildly on the not quite paved road. We stop in a small parking lot. The Savage River lay before us like water pouring from a giant's faucet.

"Come," dad says. We march quietly to the other companions. Then we walk over the Savage River bridge. Dad chats with a park ranger for three or four minutes then he says, "Come on lets go on a hike!"

We trudge slowly up the winding cliff before us. For a time I was fearful of bears and wolves... but that fear melted like ice quickly. Its very rare to see tree growing on a cliff, but I was seeing it now... huge beautiful trees looming like golden towers. Suddenly a daze of sunlight breaks through heavens then vanishes. I poise to throw a stone but mom (always mom) stopped me.

'Aw man,' I think. We continue.

Soon the cliff gets too high. We climb slowly down... we climb down a little winding path. Suddenly I lunge at fat ptarmigans, they flutter a few feet in front of me and scuttle. I never catch one but still I want to. We walk longer. We see many ptarmigans and lots of glimses of the Savage River. I thought the trail would go on forever but finally it stopped at a small white bridge. There was another trail leading back toward the parking lot. Me, my brother (Brooks) and my cousin (Ruth,) run ahead... trying to loose the other and be back first. We count ten ground-squirells and forty-eight rabbits. Finally we return to the cars and we had to wait a long time till the others came.

Hi I'm Elias.

Today I got up at 9: 45 am this morning (really late I know.) Dad was just leaving to go fly this guy that takes pictures for the National Park. I almost went straight to the computer (love it.) I ate breakfast then went outside to look for Orion and Brooks, my to brothers (both younger.) Then Brooks and Orion want me to play a game with them about that they were boys that were lost and they found this old indian tent. (They made one yesterday) And I was a guy that drove a snow-mobile and I saved them and so on. Lunch came soon after that. We had a lot of different lunches and after we finished the second one I went on the computer. Then after the last lunch we went to this place at the airport called Coyote Air... well first we went to the Evarts house then we went to Coyote Air. Coyote Air has two children, Bremner and Day, we (meaning me and Brooks) are good friends with Coyote Air. We did many thing including sword-fighting. The time passed quickly and in several hours it was time to go. I was hungry so I went gladly. Almost right after we got home, I check my email and go onto  my website called KidPub. Dinner came soon after...

This all that has happend today, please coment if you like it. :)
