“Vacation” in Platinum

Right now I’m here in Platinum for a so called vacation. It’s been alright, we’ve done a lot of different activities. We went kayaking, hiked Red Mountain, and also toured Platinum mining camp. The most fun, was probably the Mining camp, because we got to see a lot of stuff that was still there from when the camp was first established back in 1927, i think, don’t quote me on that though, lol. It was cool seeing how everything still stands from when it was first built. We looked into a lot of old buildings and also got to see the dredge. I’m still not exactly sure what it is, but I think it dug up the platinum deposits or something along those lines. I also liked seeing the old tractors and machines and stuff. I got to seat it some of them, which was pretty fun.

Another thing I enjoyed was when we made a fire on the beach and ate yummy smores. They were delicious :D. And while we were down at the beach I entertained myself by making a trail for everyone to follow, it was interesting. Everyone laughed because the trail had arrows pointing where to go, and some even let you go back a few steps and stuff. It’s been fun being here, but lately we’ve been running out of things to keep ourselves busy with. It’s awesome being able to have computers here though, without them I think we’d all go crazy. Today we were waiting to see how the weather turns out so we can go camping. I’m pretty excited because I haven’t gone camping before so it should be fun.
