I finally found a little use for Mrs. Knight and Katie in this story. The guys go on a camping trip and it ends badly. I realize this theme has been done at least a 100 times but I happen to be a Colorado native so I've been camping dozens of times. I also know basic survival skills and some first aid.

April was one week away and Kendall Knight, Logan Mitchel, James Diamond, and Carlos Garcia couldn't have been more excited. Kelly forced Gustavo to give them two weeks off starting on the first day of April and they wanted to take a camping trip to Colorado, well except for Logan who was terrified to go camping ever since he almost died last time they went camping in Minnesota. "But we're not going camping in Minnesota Logie." Carlos tried to convince him "Colorado doesn't even have poisonous snakes" he just assumed that. He didn't really have any proof that poisonous snakes lived in Colorado or not.

"And if it does happen again then we'll know what to do. And we'll set camp close to a ranger station" James said.

"Besides this time we're going to remember the first aid kit." Kendall said assured him. Logan sighed and said "I gotta get new friends" which meant "fine I'll go" in Logan. "YES!" they all shouted and started packing for their trip.

The first day of April finally came, and the guys had all their camping gear ready for their trip. James was trying to get Carlos up but Kendall and Logan were all up at 2:00 in the morning for the 17 hour drive ahead of them. Mrs. Knight and Katie were up early too, to make them breakfast and say good-bye. "Don't get eaten by bears or mountain lions. I heard Colorado is full of them." Katie teased. Chills ran up Logan's spine, the sound of getting eaten was horrifying.

"Katie don't talk nonsense" Mrs. Knight warned as she put a big plate of homemade waffles on the table. Kendall, Logan and Katie dug into the fluffy goodness. "Move your butt" James's voice could barely be heard from the hall. Then he appeared pushing a half conscious helmet clad Latino. "James I'm tired" Carlos murmured.

"Then sleep in the truck" James said. He threw Carlos over his shoulder and stuck him onto his chair at the table. "Eat up boys it's a long drive to Moraine Park" Mrs. Knight said. "Did you make sure you had everything?"

"Yeah but let's check one more time" Logan said. Kendall, James, and Logan walked over to their bags and camp gear while Carlos trudged over. Logan pulled out a clip board with the list.

"T-Shirts?" Logan asked.

"Check" the others said

"Shorts?

"Yeah"

"Jeans?'

"Yup"

"Jackets and hoodies"

"Uh huh"

"Socks?"

"Check"

"Rain gear?"

"Check"

"Long-sleeved shirts?"

"Got them"

"Gloves?"

"Yeah"

This was starting to annoy James, Kendall, and Carlos.

"First-aid?"

"Yes"

"Pocket knives?"

"Check"

"Water bottles?"

"Duh" They responded not even looking anymore.

"Flash lights?"

"Yeah"

"Matches?"

"Check"

"Extra clothes?"

"Yes"

"Map and compass?"

"Yup"

"Eating kit?"

"Of course"

"Sleeping bags and tents?"

"Yes we have it all!" they shouted.

"DO YOU HAVE LONG UNDERWEAR!" Mrs. Knight shouted from the kitchen.

"Yes" they lied, then they grabbed their stuff and headed into the hall. Everything was so quiet. No one was up in the PalmWoods. They walked quietly to the elevators and then pushed the button for the Lobby. The elevators stopped in the lobby and they wheeled and carried their bags through the lobby trying not to wake-up Bitters, who had his head on the desk and sleeping with a half-eaten cheese burger in his mouth.

They walked out to the parking lot into the cool morning weather. They walked over to Kendall's dark green pick-up truck and loaded the back with all their camping and fishing gear. As soon as everything was secured in the back Kendall took the wheel, James sat in the passenger's seat, and Logan and Carlos got the back seat. It was gonna be a long drive to the Rockies so James tossed a backpack full of books, an iPod, games, and food in the back seat to amuse Carlos. Clearly he wasn't gonna use them that very second because he fell back asleep the second he sat in the car. Logan got out his nook and started to read it, hoping it'd take his mind off getting eaten or bitten by wildlife.

Kendall started the car and backed out of the parking spot. "It is 2:12 and we have a 17 hour drive ahead of us so let's hit the road!" Within minutes they were on the road and headed towards Colorado.
