My favorite place in the whole wide world would probably be where we go camping in the mountains every summer.  I am a member of the Mountain Top Hunting Club in the Appalachian Mountains in West Virginia.  We don’t actually do any hunting when we go but we go on long ATV adventures and camp out for a week.  Every summer my grandparents take me and my cousins camping in the mountains.  The place that we set up camp is about 30 miles from town.  I usually sleep in a car hauler trailer that we use to bring the bikes up with.  We can’t sleep in tents because the bears can rip through them looking for food (it happened once). 

A general day for me up there starts by waking up early and starting the campfire.  Then, the whole camp (we have a group of about 20-30 people usually) packs lunches and gets ready for the daily ride on the trails.  Everyday the whole group usually rides about 25-40 miles.  After the ride, I usually go down to the lake to swim and wash off (no showers).  After dinner, the whole camp meets up at the campfire where we tell stories, make smores, drink beer and such. 

I always have so much fun up there but the reason that this is my favorite place is definitely because of the amazing natural scenery.  I love being able to just jump on my four-wheeler and go for a ride just to enjoy the nature and views the mountains have to offer.
