Day Two

Human Environment Interaction

On day two of the Cardigan trip, we woke up to eat breakfast, which was muffins, eggs, and melon. After we ate, we packed sandwiches for the trail. Then, we started up the Manning trail. The trail is an example of Human Environment Interaction, because humans changed the landscape to include it.

On the way up, we did three plot studies and sang songs loudly as we hiked. When we reached the summit of Mount Firescrew, we ate lunch and put on layers(Also Human Environment Interaction, because the environment made us do something). We then proceeded to the summit of Cardigan, where we sketched the fire tower, something that humans made to change the environment.

The trip down was shortened by us going down the ski trail. Dinner was sloppy Joe’s and potatoes. After dinner, the group headed out to the campfire and sang songs.
