We were asked to explore the Nolan Trail on our own after starting off with the class. After learning a few things from the professor about natural aspects of the trail I went on my own and made it to a bridge. When looking around it was hard to find something to write about but after about fifteen minutes I noticed a group of turtles. At first I just was thinking that it was cool that they were just sitting in the water swimming around us, but then I realized much more. If you really think about it, the small amount of water that constitutes that lake they were in is like their whole world. They know nothing of other waters outside of that. They relate to us in the same way. We live in our world much of the time and unless we explore the wildernesses outside of our lives we will be limited to certain experiences. The other waters and the rest of the world is like a wilderness that is unknown for both us and the turtles. I just thought it was interesting to look at it this way.
