DAY ONE

Ah, yes…the traditional trip to Howe Caverns.

After a grueling 4 hour ride, we made it upstate to Howe Caverns. We were quite the large group, as the Nature Rensizzle joined us that day.
Howe Caverns is an amazing adventure

DAY TWO

During day 2, we went to Central Park as apart of our geology rensizzle trip.We found evidence of glaciers being over there in the past. The evidence that we found of glaciers being present in the past in Central Park were the striations. We were informed what striations were, they are the parallel lines on rocks that show the movement of glaciers. Erratic rocks were dragged by glaciers. Some rocks were picked up along the way
