Faithful.
Last fall, Lisa and her friends decided to take a
camping trip to Yellowstone National Park. They
arranged to stay at one of the park’s many
convenient campsites. For their camping trip, they
brought their backpacks, sleeping bags, and a cooler

wolves, and even bald eagles flying overhead.
Outside of the woods, they admired the beauty of
some of Yellowstone’s natural cascades.
