Day 6
Friday 21 June 2013
On Friday we spent most of the day up in the Snowy Range in the nearby
Medicine Bow National Forest. One of our goals was to compare the
environments at "low" (9000 ft) and "high" (11000 ft) elevations.
For those familiar with the Laramie area, the low elevation hike was on the Little Laramie River trail system, whereas the high elevation walk was near the observation tower at Libby Flats. Another goal for these hikes was to collect soil and water samples, which would be
chemically tested and visually inspected later that night for signs of
life. One additional Friday activity involved interviewing camp directors,
counselors, and teachers to learn about college life and potential career paths.
