“I’ll get the paddleboard on the rocks,” I called up to Mason. He was already halfway up the stone stairs that led up the hill. I leaped up onto the first stair, and bounded up the hill, jumping two stairs with every stride. I was overjoyed to be in Northern Michigan on Long Lake, the largest of the twenty inland lakes in Long Lake Township. My hockey teammate, Mason, had invited me up to his amazing lake house.
Many a day you can see riders whizzing down the mountain as if almost racing the many hovering gondolas. When riding the chairlifts, keep an eye out for bears treading along the mountain trails in search of berries. More local thrills are available in the form of bungee jumping above the Cheakamus River to driving along logging trails on off-road vehicles. Not to mention Zip-lining, one of the most thrilling of pursuits in Whistler, BC and though it's a fairly tame pursuit, zip-liners do reach highway speeds while flying across forested valleys. No doubt there are countless activities to be a part of within the valleys of Whistler.

It has been over a year since I have been out into the wilderness in Southern Illinois. The last time I was there I can remember seeing the endless amount of trees swaying in the wind with the ice and snow from a recent snowfall. My father and I huddled in a deer blind for hours with a space heater and still felt the chill of the sub-zero temperatures running down our spines. After sitting for hours, we still saw no deer because it was even too cold for the deer to move. Despite the immense cold and boredom from sitting silently for the deer that never came, I was at peace, and the time to myself helped give me another perspective on life.
As usual, I get into the Vermeer’s car with Aftyn. The drive to the trails is always fun and beautiful. After about a twenty minute car ride, we got to the Rough Lock Falls parking lot to unload our snowmobiles. When everything is unloaded and everyone is bundled up, we’re off.
Driving in the summer vs. driving in the winter is very different. In the summer you have the warm weather and a lot of people on the roads on the go.

Michigan is a wonderful place for activities all year round. From boating and backpacking in the summer to skiing and ice fishing in the winter, there’s something for everyone in Michigan no matter the temperature. However, climate change is bringing unpredictable changes to the weather that are causing destruction to Michigan’s activity catalog. Warmer winters and rainy summers are ruining skiing outings and beach days across the entire state. People are having trouble finding skiing hills with snow on them recently, and “Michigan’s winter has been a whiplash of cold and warm temperatures, challenging snow-dependent ski businesses” (Moore, 2023).
In the modern era, everyone is striving to achieve equality among genders, races, and nationalities. While equality is a great thing and something that this country needs, war and combat are not the places that women belong. They have strengths and weakness that are better used in aspects other than on the front lines with a rifle. There are areas that women are superior, such as they are typically smarter than men in the military; therefore, an administrative role may just suit them better. Women are also more compassionate than men, making them a better nurse or doctor on base, caring for men who get wounded on the battlefield.

When the wind begins to nip at your face, when the sky becomes a light grey, when all life seems to be hidden away, one knows that there is a high chance of snow. Plants seem to lose their color and become as barren as that of the sky. Animals and humans seem to burrow up from the cold weather outside. But one can only anticipate the white flurry substance coming from the sky. Snow is a magical thing.
Snowfall is a pretty sight, the world is still; no movement, even the air stays still. When you look up at the cloudy gray sky and see the snowflakes fall they float down in a graceful path that would make ballerinas look clumsy. It 's a euphoric moment almost, the kid inside you wakes up and without thinking everyones impulsive habit is to scream “It 's snowing!” and raise their hands to the sky asking for more.
