Survivor Sutton Salt Lake Experience


On March 5, 2007 Pine Hill School went to Camp Sutton. On Wednesday we walked to the Sutton Salt Lake where we found a geocache. A geocache is a container hidden in a secret place. These are all around the world. You put things in them so you can take other things out. The Salt Lake is the only Saline Salt Lake in the Southern Hemisphere. We walked across the Salt Lake because it had no water in it but when it is full it is less than 1 metre deep. When we got to the other side we sat down and ate rice crackers and then we painted the view. We painted mountains, the Salt Lake and the sky with watercolor paints. After that we wrote our names on the bottom of the salt lake with sticks then we walked the long walk back to the car park. On the way we saw lizards and we caught some. We looked under a big rock and found two lizards but we only caught one of them. Then we got our class photo taken on a big rock. We rode our bikes back to camp. After that we saw a cyclist from San Francisco and he took a photo of us.
It was a really fun and tiring day.
