156 feet below ground had to be the coolest stop on the entire trip, and really tied the whole trip together for a perfect ending. Even though it was quite a frightening though of being so close to bats in a closed cave almost 200 feet underground, it was still pretty fun. The tour guide taught us about the way the cave was discovered and who discovered it and how they made profit from visitors there. The boat ride was nice because we got to see more of an 'eye level' sort of view and not just from the path. The water was also really cold and rudely splashed at me by Emma.

This dig was much different than I could have ever imagined. I pictured more of a downhill sort of actual 'ditch', not a bunch of land with shale surrounding it. The shale was really cool to be able to break with your bare hands and see what was inside of it. It was also cool to get up to the top of the 'shale hill' and go up there also to look around for left around fossils. Even though this wasn't meant to be, it was so cool to see the skull of a horse there!!! I thought it was just kind of cool and here's a nice picture of it.

After breakfast the next day, we went down to the mines and got hammers out and hammered away at rocks that were sadly, not a success for most of us. I saw a lot of small baby sized diamonds, but nothing too special, nothing to get rich out of... It was fun to do something I don't usually ever even consider, and I like the idea of how some people go out and do that for a living. With my patience, I could never sit there and wait for a diamond to come out of a rock.

I thought this was one of the coolest stops. I learned a lot about how life used to work with transportation and how people got around. It was also the coolest thing ever to see lock #16 lower the water level to match the level behind the gate. It's nice to see how people put these things together for everything to be easily accessed. The cruise was fun and long, which made it nice to sit around with my friends and Mr. Murphy and not only connect with our countries past but to connect with my peers and teacher outside of school.

This creek had mini little waterfalls that were really pretty with a what I'm pretty sure also had a natural pothole in it. The water wasn't at a high level and wasn't difficult to walk through without getting soaked.

Here, we looked around at a bunch of different types of fossils and hit rocks with our hammers. Some rocks were a lot harder to crack than others, which was typically based on the size and weight of the rock. The ones with fossils inside were cool to break open, it was cool to see something from thousands/millions of years ago in its true shape and size.

We first looked off to the side to see a large part of the park with a lot of trees and homes. Far out we were able to see some skyscrapers and Mr. Murphy mentioned that typically, if the day was better and it was clear outside, we'd be able to see other states such as Pennsylvania. We also walked down a trail with few stair cases that led us to two waterfalls that weren't too far apart from each other and a few mini caves in between the cracks of the mountain. I went into one of the small caves with Maddie, and got soaked in it from a crack at the top of the 'ceiling' that splashed it with waterfall water. We saw interesting wild life there, such as birds and a small red lizard with black spots.
