Red Hills, Spider National Park!


On Saturday, February 10th, me, my dad, and my brother and sister drove up to a personal favorite hiking place, The Red Hills. A.K.A Spider National Park. This place was teeming with them. Yet we come for three reasons: to enjoy nature, to catch millipedes and such, and to swim in The Swimming Hole. The Swimming Hole is a beautiful water hole created by a cascade of river water. We always come to swim in it, and somehow, it always stays full.
There is always spiders though, basking on sunny rocks, until three kids come along and bash them off, shove them in glass jars, and take them home!
That is exactly what we do there. I take the pictures, my sister grabs the jars, and my brother scoops them up (or puts them in his pocket) into them.
We always hike up a massive mountain\hill, also. At the top, we can have a birds-eye view of the snowcapped peaks of Yosemite gleaming on the other side of the Sierra Nevadas, fields and meadows full of emerald grass and bountiful trees. There is even an ancient car far down in one of the meadows that has a tree growing out of it! Then we hike down the other side of the mountain, and leave for home. My dad has suffered much on the cries and pleads of us three begging for ice cream. Somehow, though, we always get it. And it always caps off our days at the great Red Hills, Spider National Park!

  1. I want to know more! Just where is this place? I have never heard of it! Spiders can be scary, but they also can be fun to watch. It sounds like an intriguing place, one that maybe my grandchildren would enjoy when they come to visit!

LAKE CHABOT, WHERE THE MOUNTAIN LIONS ROAM!

On the 7th and 8th of April 2018, my family went on a vacation to a camping spot we all know and love. Anthony Chabot is a beautiful eucalyptus forest encased by gorgeous rolling green hills. We call the campground: Lake Chabot, because there is a amazing green lake that laps the land below the campground. Yet, the lake is diagnosed with a sort of lethal allergy that prohibits swimming. Too bad, you might be thinking. But, its not that bad. There is hikes that loop about the campground, and being close to Tilden Little Farm, we went there and hiked a majestic hike called Sylvan Trail, (we suffered much gobs of mud from the rain) that led us to an stony overlook that covered all of San Francisco, the Golden Gate, and more! Now, you might know what to do when you see a mountain lion sashaying across your path in he wilderness. You make yourself as loud and big as possible (even if it includes taking your shirt off) and throwing items at it until it runs away. This probably won...

Google Translate a Song In 5 Easy Steps!!!

Hi everybody! Today I'm back with a post about one of my latest favorite past-times: Translating popular theme songs, pop songs, and others through Google Translate several times. It may seem confusing, but once you get the hang of it, it's not that hard. I will be revealing the simple steps to creating your new song . .   First you have to remember you are using Google Translate, one of the most unreliable Google apps. When you want to say " Hey, how are you?" in a different language, you might as well be saying: " Hey, goldfish socks?" Usually Google Translate translates correctly. But not always. I have experienced this myself with using Swedish. So to prove Google Translate wrong, several people have taken a popular song (I did Stressed Out, by Twenty Øne Piløts) and translated it through several different languages, then back into English. The results are hideous! Not only can somebody not recognize the song, the lyrics are completely crazy! Fo...
