GOING ACROSS THE USA

I went to Heart Butte, Montana and had a blast. We went on a family mission trip and took 42 people. We started in NC and went to Rapid City, South Dakota. We rode for 2200 miles and i had a great time seeing the wildlife. I saw a bear and about 50 deer. We enjoyed helping the people out there and we worked hard. We went to the Blackfoot Indian village and cleaned out 28 bags of trash. We helped clean an rest home for 3 hours. I loved going on the trip
