As the vehicle coasted backwards a few feet I clicked the four-wheel high switch, after I heard a quiet click I slammed on the gas petal and made a hard right as a huge puddle full of mud plastered the entire vehicle. As I felt the g-force of the hill sucking me back into my seat I was swerving left and right to avoid large boulders that would completely obliterate my car. With the petal almost to the floor I caught air over a small hill and continued my course upward.
At the end of a quarter mile of driving on this brutal terrain, I reached a level area on the mountain and parked my car sideways. As I stepped out of the car I noticed that it was completely plastered, mud chunks were coving a majority of the vehicle. While avoiding the mud around my car I could hear the bass thumping from inside, then I started to walk towards the path I had just came from. Once I was behind my car I looked up from my trail, and then I was stunned. It stopped dead in my tracks, I began to look endlessly into the most beautiful sunset that I have seen, it was a sight in its" self just to see it reflecting upon the water. The colors were absolutely amazing, the various colors that I saw were just unexplainable besides that fact they included red, purple, and blue. While the sight was still seeping into my mind I began to think about the events that had occurred within the past week, then I sighed and leaned against my car sinking even deeper into my peaceful thought.
During another unforgettable period of my time in Alaska I was walking under the cold Alaskan night in awe, I staring at the red and white aurora that was covering the entire sky. Dancing all around, I watched noticing every detail of the sky, the stars were in abundance and all were extremely bright. The colors red and white are the rarest colors seen in an aurora; this occurrence of the Northern Lights was astounding.
The time I spent in Alaska was the greatest period of my life; I now know that I will never be able to replace the things that I left behind.
