Day 2 at Cardigan

September 29 2016

On day 2, we did some real hiking. There were a lot of bridges, though not over streams, just on flat ground. These were built by humans, making this an example of human environment interaction. The stream crossing was really fun, and we had to wear water resistant clothing to stay dry in case we were to fall in the stream. Also and example of human environment interaction because the environment is changing the way we behave. At a stream crossing, there was a carving in a tree that was fallen over, the mark of none other than a human. Also human environment interaction, because it is a human interacting with the environment by carving into wood. Also there were some big pieces of fungus with writing on it. All of these and more are examples of human environment interactions.

There were colorful leaves all over, including an awesome leaf rainbow on the ground, made by a hiking group ahead of us. It probably does not change the environment very much, becuse the leaves will most likely just blow away and the leaves are a part of nature in the first place, not much was changed, but it still is human environment interaction. There was a blackened tree, possibly by lighting or by a forest fire. If it was from a forest fire, and this fire was caused by a human, then it would be human environment interaction. While on the summit of Firescrew, there were windmills off in the distance that we could see, made and put there by humans, my last example of human environment interaction at Cardigan Mountain.
