Day 2 - Natural and Cultural History Day

Most of the day was devoted to exploring the two fantastic museums located in the Adirondacks.  First we travelled to Tupper Lake and visited the The Wild Center which has some great exhibits, trails, and demonstrations about the natural history of the region.

Then we travelled to Blue Mt. Lake and learned about the cultural history of the region.

After this, many of the students took advantage of the time just before supper and hopped in the kayaks for a quick paddle around Raquette Lake.

After supper, we had some great discussions about the day, schools, and other things.  Next we met Ed Kanze, an Adirondack Guide, in a pretty good PBS video about life in the Adirondacks.

Finally the day was finished off with s'mores around a campfire.

Nice.
