On a warm summer afternoon, in the hiking trails at Hidden Valley Park, in Savage, Minnesota. Ayriel, Marcus, and I went on one of our fun adventures. We followed the trails in Hidden Valley Park until we reached a fork in the road. You could either go down and walk near the river, or go up wooden stairs to a higher hiking trail. We choose to go down and walk along the river. The river was full of giant rocks and cold flowing water. We walked for hours and soon the sun began to set.
We knew that it was getting late so we had to figure out how to get back to where we started. The river was down in a valley, so in order to get back up you had to climb up a very steep hill. As we climbed this steep hill, we were trying our best not to slide back down the hill. The stick burs, and thorn weeds made it incredibly challenging. The hill we decided to climb looked like it led right into someone’s back yard. But before we made it to the top, we saw a small platform on the hill. When we made it to the platform in the hill we rested for awhile and soon we discovered something that we had never seen before.
A large green circle was growing out of the ground, close to where we were sitting. It had thorns on the stem, and looked like it was cornels of large green corn on it. When we picked the seeds that were growing out of the stem, they broke off a lot like corn does when you pick it straight from the field. The outside of the cornel appeared to be green but the inside was a bright yellow. We decided that we would probably never know what this fascinating thing was that we had discovered in the middle of nowhere. We decided to leave it back where it was and we continued on our way, to try and figure out how to get out of Hidden Valley Park.
