Beginning of Day Three

After another amazing breakfast of eggs, sausage, hash browns, fruit, yogurt, and biscuits and gravy, the young scientists headed out. One day-group headed up the mountain to learn about geology. While on the hike, (not only did they burn off their breakfast hiking quickly up the mountain) they learned a little about forest ecology, specifically about fire's role in healthy forests. When they arrived at their final destination, campers were pleasantly surprised at the giant outcropping of quartz. The geology lesson began at this location and continued for the next few hours.
