Today started out with an early
breakfast, then everyone headed out into raging heat with their field gear on.
Group A headed out to the archeological site to dig up old forks, bits of bone
metal and glass, survey the land, and sift for treasures (and by treasures I
mean rusty nails). Somehow in the midst of all these exciting adventures, a group
of us got a bit lost and ended up hiking the perimeter trail for quite a good
bit. I would know… After a lovely lunch we headed back out along the fire
trail, this time to measure trees! We divided up into groups and measured and
counted a variety of trees in a forest plot recently restored by the Sewanee
forestry department. After a wonderful meeting with the cross country coach,
dinner, a free concert downtown, the games began! A hilarious time was had by
all, followed by hand-churned ice cream. In short, it was a splendid day!
