In the fall the 5th grade went to Echo Hill. We took classes and slept in tents.

The swamp studies where very interesting. The swamp is very mucky and dirty.

It is surrounded by a bunch of plants and weeds that are very tall. You only have two planks to walk on so there is a very big chance of falling in. They say that if you fall in you will have a big chance of getting a fish in your boot. The swamp in some parts is seven feet deep and it can be deeper in other parts! When you go fishing with a net after the swamp walk you have a huge possibility of catching a fish or water bug. One of the plants in the swamp is called a Lambs Ear. The swamp is filled with algae and plants. The swamp is on the property of Echo Hill and the board walk is about 2,000 feet.
