The Cumberland Gap on the trail Day 9

hikingIn the morning we woke up at 7:00am because we’re tired and we left to the dormitory at 9:30am to go to another National Historical Park in Cumberland, Virginia, Tennessee and Kentucky eeehhhhhhhh!!! We went to the last three more states!!

Everybody arrived to the Cumberland Gap Mountain National Historical Park. First we entered the building called Cumberland Gap to watch the movie of what happened in 1765, when the white settlers moved from the Appalachian Mountains. When I saw the movie I felt little bit sorry because they didn’t have a house and they still were looking for land. Also some of them died because they had a minor war with the American Indians.

paintingAfter lunch, we walked in the mountain called the Cumberland Gap. It is the land between the two mountains was opened so people can go through the mountains. I walked in the ridge the top of the mountain because Barb French wanted to get a picture. But I can’t imagine because how the horses, cow, women who carried babies and carried more in the ridge WOW!! I can’t imagine how people when through in the mountains. Also we still walked in the top of the mountain to touch three states; Virginia, Kentucky and Tennessee.

 

the crewOur journey was to arrive to the mountain and make three footmarks on the three states!! It was Virginia, Tennessee and Kentucky and also when I touched the three states I felt very glad. When I was in the top of the mountains I saw; hills, butterflies, insects and turkey vultures and also the colors of the mountains is dark green, the sky very clear and sunny.

We arrived to the bus again because is only for touched three state and we wanted Barb French drive to the top of the mountain to look over the city. Also when our driver Barb French drove around the swerving road is crazy! When I walked in the mountain was gorgeous because the mountains are clean, speechless and it smells natural. Also, when I was walking; inside my inner heart felt peace and sincerity.

relaxingI am really enjoying with my crew because we had a lot of fun together, and we had great time.
