Field Day

     I went on a trip to Roosevelt Lake with my class where we went to a couple of interesting places. We first stopped at the visitor center where we might the rangers that would be taking us to these places. They first introduced them self and shared what they do and how the job effected what we were about to see. Then we headed off to a ranch up the street and might a woman who raised cows and she told us about how math is really important to know when you are doing this type off job. Then she started talking about how the stock market went way up because of how important the cows were during that time. Then we went over by the dam where visited a tunnel where they showed us how it was made. There were a metal cover over the side of the hill so that rocks wouldn't fall on you. After that we went farther down to this one spot where we could actually see the dam and we learned the history behind it and how they redid it. Then drove over to the eagles nest where the rangers set up a telescope so that we could see the eagle. Then the rangers were talking about how one of the eagles stay in the nest protecting the eggs when the other one went to go get food. Then once in a while they would switch and right when they said that the other eagle came from around the corner to switch places which was really cool. Then we went to the side of the road where we got out of the bus and walked to the middle of this forest so that we could learn to get the height of a tree with a clinometer which was pretty interesting. Then we said goodbye to the rangers at Roosevelt Lake and went back home.

     I liked this trip better then the other one mainly because the other one was mostly just the history of it. When on this one there was more of going places and doing things which more fun than just talking. Also on this trip it was more of what is happening now. On this trip we did more thing like seeing how to tell the height of a tree with a clinometer. I overall liked this trip better because we were more active on this one.
