Hitchiti Experimental Forest




After arriving just a little late from the rest of the group. Nate and I took a chance, chose a route, and hoped to catch up. it was only about 7 minutes until we saw the rest of the group and was relieved to have found them. The trail was pretty tight and narrow, definitely not a bike trail. It did not look like many people go down this trail either. We came across many differnt plant species and also got to see Dr. Rood attempt to be Tarzen and swing from a vine. When we arrived at the river, it was really cool to see the rock formations coming in and out of the river.i enjoyed the hike because the weather was perfect out. everyone had to hug a tree, i chose a tiny one, while some tried to out do everyone and pick the largest one in the area. apparently i learned that they burn some of the tress down every two years to help control the forest. i found that to be very interesting.
