We pulled into a clearing with a big white lodge and a bunch of solar panels. We got into our groups and with our guide. Our guide was named Izzy. This is where the theme of movement comes in, a common theme of geography that day. Izzy transferred, or moved the information about the resort and the mountain to me and my group, Jackson, Jillian, Veronica, Avery, Ryan, and Christian. Mr. Woolner and Mrs. Roberts also joined us. Once she was done talking to us we started on our hike. We walked on a trail before Mr. Woolner said stop to look and sketch an old colonial celer hole. Then Mr. Woolner started telling us about the movement of the old colonial people and how they set up farms in New England, but realized that there was terrible soil for a farm and moved away. We also stopped to look at various bushes, mushrooms, and trees (one of the trees, the scotch pine, came or moved from Scotland to New England because of humans). But the trees that Mr. Woolner prioritized teaching us were the hemlock tree and the ash tree. Our goal for the hike was to do a loop through the woods, stopping at welton falls for lunch (where I almont fell down a fifty foot cliff into Welton falls). Sometime while I was eating lunch, it started raining, and my notebook where I was sketching got completely drenched. The day capped off with some Swedish fish from Mr. Woolner on the bus.
