This year we went to Ashokan for a school trip again. In this photo we were heading to the blacksmith shop. That was one of the most interesting things we did at Ashokan to me. We also went on the gorge hike like we did last year. One of my favorite parts of the gorge hike is the deer trail. It is a steep trail that was created by deer to get to the water.  I learned a lot about the blacksmith and the history of Ashokan. There were a lot of stories about the history too. This year instead of the birds of prey show there was a reptile show. We also did a drum circle and we did some games for Olympics. Last year we didn’t get to do blacksmithing or get to see the reptile show.
