Today was our outing to the Wild Center and the Adirondack Museum. We had some time to explore the websites ahead of time to figure out what was there and what we would like to see. At the Wild Center I really enjoyed the information about how the Adirondack forest came to be. There was information about glaciers and the forming of the different lakes and vast land. That was very interesting to me and I would like to learn more about that! I also enjoyed a little presentation about a northeastern screeching owl which was cool. I felt a little sorry for the owl as he was on display and uncomfortable just wanting to fly away! The Adirondack museum was very interesting! I really enjoyed the old schoolhouse and walk through the extravagant train....if we could only ride in that luxury today! We had a chance to see the way transportation evolved over the years to be more comfortable. I would definitely go back to that museum another time.
On our way back we had some time to take in the local culture of "The Tap Room" and relax in the sun which was excellent. We got back to camp, took a little hike down to Kirby camp, then headed in for dinner. After dinner we were told we had time to play because the weather was so nice! So I enjoyed a little canoe ride down to Big Island where we saw a family of ducks. Weirdly...the ducks felt dangered by us and so they all pooped on the rock they were on at the same time and swam away! That was definitely interesting. After that I had time to take a kayak out again on my own and the water was really calm....easier to paddle then the day before and very relaxing....I am hoping to do that again!
Tomorrow brings project work time and a ropes course adventure! I can't wait...
