Personal Narrative: The Ruby Hiking Trail

It was around nine a.m. on a crisp spring morning when I decided to go on a hike. I drove over to our public hiking trail and parked by the “Ruby hiking trail’ entrance. I got out of my car and grabbed my backpack that had my water bottle, salad, sweatshirt, and blanket in it. As I was walking down the trail, I heard birds singing, trees creaking, deer running, rabbits hopping, and a light breeze. About an hour into the hike, I started to get hungry.

To track someone or something down, I have to spin around three times and repeat what I want to track down three times.

When I got done spinning, I closed my eyes and a map popped up and showed me three homes that lost their dog in the area. I memorized two of the addresses closest to the hiking trail so I could drive Josie there.
