Caesars Head State Park



On Thursday, my wildlife ecology and management class drove over 4 hours one way to see Caesars Head State Park. We originally were planning on visiting Joyce Kilmer which was much further than Caesars Head State Park but we realized the potential Caesars Head State Park had. It was a wonderful day hiking on the trails and looking at the amazing views. It really took your breath away looking down a few thousand feet. A beautiful hawk flew underneath us and a vulture got stuck in a thermal as it gained height rising barely using any energy to move. Jessica, Jasmine and I will be going Whitewater Rafting on the Chattooga River on Tuesday. I can’t wait!

On Friday, my soils class learned about Soil Colloids including Andisols, Ultisols, Vertisols and Oxisols. We were also assigned a group essay and readings based on the Easter Island event. I have learned about this before in high school but it will be interesting to write an essay as a group and learn about the soil problems this island had before the people ultimately vanished.

Yours truly,
Brittany
