Diary Of A First Time Road Tripper: Camping On The Beach

     It was a warm night in the beginning of June, Allison, Olivia, and Marjorie were camping on the coast in Oregon to save money for the remainder of their road trip adventures.  It was the time of day when the sun was just beginning to set and this sunset was unlike any the girls had ever seen.  Purples, pinks, oranges, and yellows encompassed the horizon and highlighted the mounds of rock only a few hundred yards off the beach. 
     Gathered around the fire pit that was made from stones, the girls had found were chairs and logs for seating.  Each spaced with at least five feet between so that there was space enough to sit on the ground if one so desired.  Also around the pit were a few beer and pop cans that had been left by previous campers.  The fire had been started just as the girls had learned only weeks before to prepare them for the trip they were now on.
     "Tepee the sticks and put the paper under there so that the sticks will catch on fire when you light it.  Did you not learn anything?"  Olivia jokingly explained to Allison who was only moments before haphazardly arranging the materials, attempting to make a fire.
     "This was a lot easier when the boys taught us at home!"  Allison laughed.
     "When we were planning this trip, I am 95% sure we had no idea what we were getting ourselves into when we decided to camp!" Marjorie added while she was opening a new box of graham crackers to use with the marshmallow she had just roasted to golden perfection.
     "The intentions were good, but the three of us, camping for a week with practically no idea where we're going next is a little scary!" Allison sat down on the log that had been perfectly carved out into the shape of a chair by a camper prior them.
     "Quite honestly, when we started planning this trip, I had no idea all of our parents would agree to letting us go for this long, or this far for that matter!" Olivia assembled her first s'more.
     "Oh my gosh, I know!   I screamed when my dad finally agreed to letting me go," Allison said.
     "Getting here was quite interesting and now that we're actually here, reality is beginning to sink in and I'm so excited to do all the rest of the stuff we have planned!" Marjorie exclaimed as she opened a bottle of blue Gatorade.
     "I feel like we're going to run out of time for all the things we want to do."  Olivia said while she held her marshmallow over the red embers of the fire.
     "Even if we do, we can just come back for spring break if we all want to when the time comes!" Allison excitedly told the other two.
     "That's a really good idea!" Olivia and Marjorie said in unison.
     The fire had been slowly dying down, so the girls added logs so they could continue to sit around the fire and talk about all they had to look forward to.
