October 1-3 2017 My trip to the awesome mountains of Cardigan and Firescrew Joe-Y red group
we were there for 3 days. The first day we hiked on the welton falls. On the second day we summited cardigan and firescrew. On day three we did the nature trail, stream study and came home.
Location is where something is. There are 2 types of location. One type is relative location. Relative location is roughly where something is. The reason that it is called relative is because it is not exactly where something is. Now if I was talking about where the school is and I did not use coordinates then it would be relative because it was not exact. Also if I were talking about Mt. Cardigan and I were to say Mt Cardigan is in the town of orange and it's near the middle if the town. That would be relative location. Absolute location. The summit of Mt. Cardigan is 48 degrees 38 minutes 59 seconds north -71 degrees 54 minutes 53 seconds west. Saying that would be using absolute location. It would be absolute location because it is talking about exactly where something is. In conclusion there are two types of location, relitave wich is roughly where something is and there is absolute location is absolutly where something is.
The place is describing a location. So when we went to cardigan there was a pond the pond was quite small. The Mountain of Cardigan itself towered over the A.M.C lodge. From the dining room, there was a very splendid view of the Mountain and its bald top. There was also a very good view of the neighboring Mountain Firescrew. When we were hiking Mt. Cardigan we noticed that in some spots it was very steep. There were many roots and stones on the hiking trail. When we got to the edge of the treeline we were able to see the steep climb up the bald surface that we had in front of us. When we did finally reach the top we were able to see for miles. We could see lakes, ponds, the lodge from which we came, and a bon fire out in the distance.
Describing Mt. cardigan culturally. When we started our great adventure up the mountain I noticed all the different trails we could take. Each trail was either marked with a yellow, orange, or red train blaze. About a quarter mile into the hike are group stopped to take a water break, scetch and play a game. when we stopped we sat at these manmade bench stump things to sit down. After that, we continued up the mountain. Several time the trail got too steep to climb without assistance but there were man-made stairs to help us get up. As we worked our way higher and higher I noticed that different plan6ts were growing and the trees got thinner and thinner to the point where there were no more trees. After we got out of the trees we were able to see the fire tower at the summit and the warden's cabin closer to the tree line. As we worked our way down fire screw we noticed a bunch of weird looking trees on the sides of the hiking trail. Our A.M.C leader told us how early settlers would break the little saplings as they went deeper and deeper into the woods. they would do this so that on there way back all they had to do was look for the broken trees. After time passed the trees grew and toa very odd looking shape. So whenever I say a tree that looked like that I would think of the early settlers.
In conclusion that was my trip to Cardigan. I had a lot of fun and I would love to back and do that hike again.
