    One trek that I went on was when I went camping and went on a hike.When I took the hike it was a long excursion but best of all I was deft I running,and when everyone was tired I was still vigorous.

  2. Gabby says... One time when I went on a trek was when I was going to Indiana and my dad came to Montana to drive two of my brothers and me. We stopped to eat and go to the bathroom and for gas. I was so incredulous to meet my step-mom and my step-brother. They both were pretty nice! That was a time I went on a trek.

  3. I went on a trek when I was going to Mount Rushmore. It was a good excursion. I don't think it was a daft decision to go there. I had a abundant amount of fun when I was there.

    The time I was on a trek was when my family went to Disney land.We flew to Phoenix.My brother was excited to fly but I was reluctant of flying up up and away from home. Kellan has a reputation of being loud on a trip.We drove to San Diego to see some friends.After 2 days we went to Universal Studios.I got my family tickets call speed passes.When you have those you can go to a special line and the will let you go before everyone else.Then we went to Disney Land.We spent 4 days there.Then we came home.

    A time when I went on a trek was when my family went hiking. I was scared because I thought there was bears and it was kismet because at that moment we heard a bear growl. It was a scary juncture of my life. But now the proportion of my fear of bears is waning.

  8. Jordyn says, One time my family went on a trek to New York. We had the alternative to take a plain but we wanted a 3 day excursion. We had to accumulate a lot of gas so we could make it there. I was so elated when we made it to New York.

  9. If you are running a 5 mile race it might be a big trek for you. But if you keep persevering you will win the race!
