When I was growing up, our family went camping at various locations,including Giant Forest. One summer,
our family went camping in August in Giant Forest. We were scheduled to stay 6 days. We camped in tents with
cots. My mom cooked. We hiked and enjoyed the scenery of the forest and pine smell. One morning, my dad
heard a noise. He sat up in his bed and saw a bear rummaging through our campground.The bear was eating
our jello and bread. My dad didn't want to startle the bear, so he very slowly layed back down,until the bear
left our campsite. On the next to the last night, we had a campfire and roasted marshmellows. We went to bed
and then it started to rain. By the next morning, it was cold. We looked out of our tent and there was snow on
the ground. We decided to cut our visit one day short, so we might avoid getting stuck in the mountains. We
couldn't believe that it would snow in August!
