Trip to Jackson Springs/Baconsfield

For this lab we went to Jackson Springs park near the Baconsfield apartments. We walked through the park, looking at different rocks that we found right near the river, and under/near the bridge. We talked about how in the mid 90's the river flooded and destroyed a handful of homes that were too low for the water line at that point.
When we were finished with the hike and made it back to our original spot, we discussed the history of Baconsfield. I didn't know that at one point there was a zoo there or about the history of the neighborhoods themselves. I knew about how the park was left to the "white women and children of Macon" and the obvious problems that that had caused.
