On the last day of our trip to Cardigan, we awoke early, to find that it was raining. We packed up, ate, and were on our merry way towards Welton Falls. When we first entered the Welton Falls State Park, we found a strange old stone cellar. We spent a bit of time talking about how it may have got there, and human environment interaction. After that, we measured and sketched it. As we hiked down steep hills, we passed some other hiking groups. We stopped constantly to sketch interesting things, which made us end up with a lot of sketches. When everyone was starting to get tired and put down by the rain, we emerged on top of a cliff, overlooking the beautiful view of Welton Falls. We stayed up on the cliff for another few minutes, looking at our surroundings and the view. We saw that there were some old restraining rails, to keep people away from the edge. But everyone was tired and hungry, so we carefully rushed down to the small beach, where we sat in the mud, and had some lunch. After lunch, we took a picture, and sketched the falls. On our way back, we found two trees, one coniferous and one deciduous, that were wrapped together like they were holding together. It was pretty cool, because they were two opposite kinds of trees, that were bound together. When we made it back to the lodge, we just barely got on the bus.
