Last week, I took a small boat and rowed miles along a little river in the middle of New York's Adirondack Mountains (escape) the maddening noise in the city.
One of the rewards for this remote trip was the total peace in the mountains. Here, I was completely alone. There was not another soul sight. No cars, no signals to draw me toward my phone.
I rowed through little ponds (surround) by grass and red berries on the shores. To go deeper into the wild, I made my way through a chain of rocky rapids (急流). As I rowed along I saw a yellow maple leaf pressed against a rock by the current.
When it was impossible for (I) to row my boat, I tied it to my waist and pulled it behind me, w with my pants rolled to my (knee). To my delight, I found that the water still held some of the warmth summer.
Soon after I reached a stretch of rapids were too violent to get through, I was forced to carry my little boat on my shoulders.(walk) along a trail in the shadowy forest, I saw(variety) plants that have started to turn reddish. When the river slowed down again, I put down my boat and rowed on. On (arrive) at the end of the little river, I was extremely tired I felt really happy and complete relaxed.
