Location Paragraphs: Absoutelocation: Cardigan is located at 43 degrees 38 min 59.23 seconds N, 71 degrees 54 minutes 53,30 W. This is an example of absolute location. Latitude and longitude is used to find where it is usually almost, most of the time. Relative location means where something is realtivly at. They use objects, landmarks or local places to describe and or tell where something is. Example: Cardigan is located near Orange peak, South peak, Rimrock and Firescrew mountain as well as the AMC cardigan lodge.

Physical and Cultural Cardigan: There were many different cultural things at cardigan such as the hiking trails, the watch tower at he the top of Mt. cardigan and much more. They were every where up there. There was carvings, markings, plaques engraved everywhere. On the very top of Mt. Cardigan there was a watch tower to find wildfires on the other mountains nenarby. Along the hiking trails at the top there were my different kinds of trail markers such as carens, paint markers on the rocks and trees or even just signs and engravings.

There were also many physical things on top of Mt. Cardigan. Such as, trees, rocks, water, wildlife. Although there weren't many trees at the top they were all the same kind. Hemlock. They’re the only type of tree that can live up there in the harsh, windy environment. There was also a lot of lichen along the trees and rocks up there. And in the little divots there was rain water that had been trapped there and hadn’t been evaporated yet. And there was only a little bit of wildlife because not a lot of the species could live in such harsh environment.

We were there for three days. Wednesday,Thursday and Friday.
