Camping In Arkansas
Personal memory by Sherice Sutcliffe
2012 • Arkansas, USA
There was a place that my grandpa and I would always go to over summer break. I remember fishing in the river through the woods, it was my favorite part of visiting there. But one year, when we went to the site, there were almost no fish left. Over the few years that my grandpa and I were gone, many people had come by and went over the fish limit. They had illegally done this in order to sell the fish for a profit, since fishing in the river was free and unsupervised. Now, no one is allowed to fish in the river and we no longer go to there.
