On the second day that we were at Cardigan, we climbed to the top. At the top, it was extremely cold because of the elevation and wind. We had to put on our jackets because while climbing got us warm, the change in temperature made us pretty cold. This is an example of the environment changing the things we do, therefore it is Human Environment Interaction. On our way up and down the mountain, we were on the Manning trail. The Manning trail is not a natural trail. Therefore, someone would have had to cut down trees and bushes in order to make this trail a trail. This is an example of humans changing the environment, therefore it is Human Environment Interaction. While we were hiking, we came across the Bailey Brook. There was a bridge, and then a little stream underneath. We stopped to get some sketches down, and just look at the bridge. The Bailey Brook Bridge could be considered the environment changing humans. In this case, it would be because the stream was too hard to cross without getting your feet wet. But this would be a little selfish on humans' part, because we were the ones making the trail in the first place. So, if humans were changing the environment in the case of Bailey Brook Bridge, it would be that we built the bridge to get over the stream. Either way, it is Human Environment Interaction. After hiking up and down the mountain, and after dinner, we had a campfire. The guides told stories and sang songs while we listened. The campfire was in a pit surrounded by rocks, but it had clearly been dug up prior to our visit. This is an example of Human Environment Interaction because we dug up a pit in order to have a campfire.
