Westmoreland State Park

Tuesday, my class took a field trip to Westmoreland State Park!! It was sooooooooooooooooooo much fun!!! :D

When we first pulled up, there was a fence there and over it was the water.

Here's a map of all the trails...
I outlined the way we took in white. We took the longest way possible. :)


Here's when we first started...

And a few pics of the scenery around us :)


After walking for about twenty minutes, we reached the beach.

On the left was a little ledge you could climb onto. You felt like you could see all the beach and everything!! :)

I took these pictures from the ledge. :)
My friend told me that there are only cliffs like that in 3 places in the world. Amazing!



Next we walked further across this ramp over a swamp...

I took these pics from the little porch thingy on the end of the ramp...


Then we walked further down...

Here's the sign we saw at the end of the ramp. We stayed on the turkey neck trail the whole time.

You would follow these little paths around these steep hills.

We went up a few stairs...

Then across a few more ramps...


And we continued on...

And on...

And on...

Until we finally reached the road.

Then we walked beside the road on this graveled path.



Then we finally got back to the parking lot where we ate lunch then played on the playground for about a half hour.


Then we took another short hike down to the beach.

Look at those stairs!

Then we walked for about five or ten minutes down the path...


Then we reached the stairs... the ever-so-long stairs...
It felt like it was never-ending! Then when we got to the bottom, my teacher made us all run up them!! My legs still hurt!!! :P

Anyway, it was a super fun field trip!! :)

Smiles,
Katie :)
