The Dolly Steam Boat

Over the weekend, my family went to Canyon Lake to ride on a Dolly Steam Boat. On the ride, we were told to keep our eyes "peeled" for any wild animals. Although we didn't see any of the javelinas, (it's pronounced havelinas) which are wild pigs with big tusks, bobcats, mountain lions, or anything else like that, we did see a bunch of big horned sheep. They were so cool! They were a grayish tan color and they had big horns, hence the name big horned sheep. It was kinda cold, but luckily I had a jacket, a thin one but, nevertheless, a jacket. On the way back, we noticed that we were almost out of gas! Unfortunately, the ride back was mostly uphill and required a lot of gas to get up! Even more unfortunate, the nearest gas station was about 10-15 miles away! Fortunately, my dad was able to coast half the time (coasting is when you don't use any gas and depend on downhills to build up speed). He only used gas when we were losing our speed and needed to get uphill and when we got on the main road. It was really scary because on the Apache trail that we had to go on, there were sharp turns without any rails and we were basically on the edge of the cliff! Although we didn't have very much gas, we barely made it to the gas station. After that we just went home. That trip was so fun!!!
