Jackson Springs Lab Report

Our adventure through Jackson Springs park was a good historical and scientific lesson. At first we went to this city creek that ran through the whole park where we found many rocks. The samples of rocks taken were: granite, feldspar, mica, and quartz. The geological findings were really exciting! From there we discussed about the history of the neighborhood named Baconsfield, and how it has changed throughout the years. Fort HIll used to be back in 50's where the middle class people would live. However, now that has changed by middle class people moved to the neighborhood near Jackson Springs and the lower class people are more dominate in the Fort HIll area. After this history lesson of that part of Macon, we then ventured on to the Ocmulgee River which was a good time as well.
