The hike we went on during this lab was perhaps my favorite. It is always nice to get out of the class room and enjoy the outdoors. During this lab we did various things such as: identifying plants, witnessing the destruction caused by the southern pine beetle, examining rock formations, discussing controlled forest fires, hugging trees and walking. A few highlights of the trip were finding a harmless garden snake and also getting some much needed exercise.
Our destination for the trip was where the creek that ran through the park met the Ocmulgee river. The rocky river bed of this area contrasted the sandy river bed that is in the city of Macon. We also got to see a example of a hole worn into the bed rock by the forces created by flowing water. Finally, we took a family picture then used the service road for the long trip back to our cars.
