Ellie and I went on a day hike in Oak Mountain. The day started out extremely smooth and chill. Ellie and I went to Whole Foods to get our groceries for the day which included: Chicken, potatoes, carrots, onions, butter, garlic and herb seasoning, chips and s'mores materials.
We hiked for about 5 minutes to Peavine Falls, which is where we made our food. We explored the area, took pictures, and began cooking our food, which was very tasty.
Our plan was to hike until 3:30 and then turn back to get picked up. As we started hiking we were then informed, by Ellie's dad, to continue hiking to a certain color connector. The hike to the white and yellow connector was a little over 3 miles.By the time we reached the connector the sun was going to set in 15 minutes. It honestly looked like we would never get out of Oak Mountain. I called the park and she connected me to ranger. Ellie and I had hiked for about 20 more minutes when the Ranger reached us. It was probably the scariest thing is my life considering that we were ALL alone in the woods ,by ourselves as it was getting dark, and 3 miles away from an exit both ways.
Overall it was extremely fun and we both learned a lot !!
