When our bunk woke (or got woken) up by the guides on our final day at the lodge, we all sleepily dragged ourselves out of bed and started to pack up our things in the few minutes of time before breakfast. The whole session 1 piled downstairs, carried by the smell of french toast cooking in the kitchen, and we all hungrily grabbed a seat. After the delicious french toast breakfast, everyone headed back up to their bunk rooms to finish packing and prepare for a short nature hike. When my hiking group was ready, we set out on the hike, stopping in the middle to learn how to use a compass and play a game. In the game, one person would hide, and the others would try and find them, using the compass to find their direction. The first person to get the direction of the hider would hide, and so on. After the game was done, we continued to hike, stopping along the way to sketch and observe the different plants and trees we spotted. We passed the other side of Bailey Brook and saw many different kinds of mushrooms. When we finished our hike, we ate lunch, and then grabbed our bags and put them back into Mr. Woolner's trailer. Everyone thanked and said goodbye to their AMC guides, and we were on our way, back onto the bus, back to HMHS. Although I was happy to be home after three days, I wished we could go back or stay longer. The Cardigan trip was probably my favorite school trip so far, and I was glad I got to go. Day 3's theme of geography was human/envionment interaction . Human/enviornment interaction is when humans interact with the enviornment and change it, or when the enviornment changes humans. The nature trail and all of the trails we hiked on the trip were made by the AMC voulenteers, interacting with the enviornment by creating trails.
