Visiting the Indian Mounds was a completely new experience for me. Although I have been in Macon for two and a half years, I had never gone to the Indian Mounds before.
During this lab we walked into the forest and examined a river that had gouged a track in the land. This was most interesting, as it revealed the levels of sediment in the bank of the river. Shades of lightest beige to rustic red could be found there. We even matched the soil samples to hues in a soil color book.
I also enjoyed the short term class pet we gained during our tromp through the woods. The unnamed turtle is hopefully still carrying on.
We finished the lab by climbing a slightly winding staircase to a breath-taking view. After being regaled with a bit of Macon's history, we descended the stairs and the lab concluded.
