General's Lookout
Group 8 climbed up to General's Lookout today. It was slippery because of last nights rain, but the group negotiated slippery rocks and the steep final climb. Along the way we learned all about how the land was used by the Abenaki and the early American Industrialists and how we use it today.

I learned how pioneers lived out in the woods and would cook make a shelter and at the end of their adventure on the road. What they would do is they would go to a store or trade others and they would find food,water,shelter,to put up while they left. They would find a good place to settle down for the night. They would make a fire, cook their food and another would help put up the tent.The next day they would pick up with no trace and would leave.
ReplyDeleteI went all the General’s Lookout hike, which doubled as a human impact hike. We learned all the different ways human’s impacted the forest, in ways that involved cutting down or damaging the trees. Most people did it to keep warm and cook meat. When we went in the forest we found chains in the trees, and we found out that horses walked up the trail with wood. The chains were to guide them on the way back down. This hike taught me a lot about the history of the people that lived there.
