    I enjoyed a summer vacation in Mammoth where I saw wild horses, found obsidian and crossed the border from Mammoth to Nevada to have lunch.  I traveled to all these places and saw all these things with my Uncle Greggy, who is not really my Uncle but a close family friend.  We were driving in his black Ford pick up truck when we saw a big cloud of dust.  Then we saw something I have never seen since, wild mustangs.  What an amazing thing to witness.  Some were brown some were black and some were many other different colors.  My sister squealed with joy at the sight of such gorgeous horses.  It was so incredible to see a creature in the wild that one usually sees in captivity.  Next, we drove over hills and through desert to get to a place full of obsidian.  Obsidian is a black rock that was used to make arrowheads for spears a long time ago.  We found arrowheads and numerous big chunks (many of which we still have today) in the hot, dusty and very dry desert.  After all the excitement we were all quite tired and decided to go to lunch.  We all had a good meal together in the hot, yet somehow relaxing restaurant after crossing the border into Nevada.  When we left it seemed so quiet, almost like a ghost town one would read about in a book.  Back at Uncle Greggy’s house I remember saying goodbye to him, while wondering when we would have another adventure together.  Before I could see him again we received a phone call from him saying that he had moved to Arizona.  This was my most enjoyable vacation because I got to see a close family friend, wild mustangs, obsidian and leave the state just to have lunch.
