September 27, 2022. Our second day at Mount. Cardigan.
Our third, and final day at mount Cardigan had started, which meant that the trip was coming to an end, but that was not going to stop me from having one last fun day. As soon as me and my bunk mates packed up, witch certainly took a bit, everyone left out on their final hike.
My group and one other group were both hiking to Welton falls. Depending on where some of us had to stop and sketch, we ended up playing a game of leapfrog of which group went first. After reaching Welton falls, I had to admire the natural beauty of the place. The water gushed from a gap on a small cliff, crashing down on all the rocks below, where small natural puddles formed, having an orangish tint, because of the minerals in the water. I sat on a largest fallen trees there, huge, and old, showing its age in its enormity. I sketched as much as I could to make sure that I never forgot the place. By the end of the long hike back, I got on the bus, sitting with my friends. I sat there reflecting on the whole experience as I inked all my sketches, adding details that beforehand, I didn’t have the time to do. Thinking back now, I think that day three was a wonderful way to end our extraordinary trip to M.T.Cardigan.
On day three, we showed an example of human environment interaction. We changed the environment, by trampling down trails, picking up trash and plastic, and taking water tests. We changed the environment, just by being on the trails, disturbing animals. The environment changes us in many ways. It affects the way we dress. If we know it will rain, we will pack rain pants and a raincoat. We will change our trails to go around natural obstacles, and we go around fallen trees. Those are a few examples of human environment interactions.
