I know this looks boring, but this was the highlight of my day. I found a big stone that was made smooth as glass by years and years of grinding food on it. The cool thing about this was that it was in its original position on the mountain. We find tons of these but they are always broken and have tumbled down the mountain. This one was buried and I saw a corner peaking out at me while I was hiking. I dusted it off and then used my trovel to get the dirt off of it. Finally I used my brush to make it pretty and clean for a picture. We gave it GPS coordinates and marked it with orange tape after measuring it. I was so happy! The other students found some fox poo and stone beads while they were excavating. I like my rock.
