As most of you know I live in the great state of Louisiana, which means that we get almost a whole week off from school for Mardi Gras. This break gives us college kids time to go adventuring and that's just what we did.

My friend told me about this place in Mississippi that is affectionately called "The Mini Grand Canyon". It is basically a big, deep pit of clay, sand, and loose gravel. Sounds "fun" right?...It was SO much fun! A group of about 30 of us went. We hiked most of the day all through the valley of the pit. It was such a great time to get to know some people a little better and definitely to build trust. At one point when I was climbing I had to fully rely on my friend to hoist me up onto a cliff, if not I would have fallen to my death no joke. Talk about a trust exercise!

I wanted to take a couple pictures of my friend Savannah for my Firelight Project so she suggested we go to this graffitied bridge that is over a shallow little creek. I was up for it so we hiked down to said bridge and I started snapping some pictures. We were there for not even five minutes before a twenty-something, sunglassed police officer showed up. Long story short, we had to leave.
 We found a super cool little hideaway that had ferns growing from the walls and vines...I love vines.

Every since I've moved to this little college town I have wanted to check out downtown. There are cute little stores, a coffee shop, and a lot of good opportunities for pictures. One of my camp staffing buddies was visiting for the day so after a walk in the park, and some Menchie's we decided to explore downtown.
