Jackson Springs!







     Jackson Springs Park is located within the three oldest suburbs in the city of Macon. The park used to be apart of Baconsfield park and had an in tact zoo. The park was split up for commercial development. We had rock hammers and picks. We also used a magnifying glass to examine the quartz and different elements of rocks we found. There were a lot of granite and quartz. We found some feldspar and other rocks that had mica and hornblende crystals as well. Some people decided to go through the tunnel and come around back to the group. I couldn't do this due to unsuitable footwear, but I still had a fun time bashing rocks and examining them =) We found a nice salamander to play with as well.
