As we left the school and headed towards the pond with my classmates. This was probably the coldest day we had experienced with our observations. At site one we were looking for signs of life as we approached the baseball field.It was extremely cold as we all shivered unprepared for our adventure. As we were scanning the woods looking for signs of life someone pointed out some animal scat. The wind blew furiously causing leaves to scatter about. I was absoultly freezing. We all had that kind of first day where we didn't know what to do and we didn't really talk so it was pretty quiet. At site two we ventured deeper into the woods. There was a multitude of trees that had fallen over and had started to decay into the forest floor. It got pretty quiet as we got deeper we could hear the distant sound of the cars passing by on the highway. The wind had died down since the trees were blocking it. I couldn't feel much cause it was so cold i had began to go numb. At site three we approached the creek and realized it was cold enough to freeze it over. It wasn't frozen solid though. I could feel all the briers that had gotten stuck in my legs while we trampled through the woods. All we could hear was the sound of our classmates. I felt like running into the school and getting as close as i could to a heater. At site four the wind continued to blow throughout out trip and making it unbearable. It was the last stop before we headed inside. As we neared the open field it began to get colder. We were out in the open so the wind seemed like it was blowing even harder. There was a trench or cut out in the ground as if some kind of creek or something had once went through it. I couldn't feel a thing as we ventured back to the school.
