Day One at Cardigan

I remember on day one when we sat down to eat lunch We sat near a stream and there was a drop which was about 4 ½ feet down. We all talked and Mr. Woolner told us a story about the Hemlock trees. I had a turkey sandwich with lettuce on white bread. Then when we started walking again we eventually came across the main part, the waterfall. It was a waterfall which was probably 30 feet or so. While there Ethan slipped on the rocks and almost went sliding into the river. Then we eventually came across this road which took forever to get to the end.

On day one a lot of Human/Environmental Interaction happened. When at the waterfall many people skipped rocks. This changes the environment by rocks shaving off dust into the water for tiny microorganisms to feed. Also people took leaves from the trees to draw and sketch. This changed by obviously killing the plant but also maybe making another tree from seeds. Finally when people first settled at Cardigan they decided to make homes but they had to move rocks to farm crops. So they made a wall out of the rocks to mark territory and other things. Also when they left nature broke down the houses making them inhabitable for humans.
