Square Ledge by Jet

We arrived at the White Mountains and we were greeted by a group of people that worked for the Appalachian Mountain Club. When we got off the bus we ate lunch and we were introducing ourselves to our leaders. We got settled into our rooms and we hiked to Square Ledge.

Square Ledge looked like a giant boulder that fell from the sky in the shape of a square. 

It was a rock with a lot of layers. It has maybe at least 25 layers that looked like white and gray lines. When we got to the top of square ledge, we looked down on the AMC lodge (Joe Dodge Lodge) and it looked like an ant house. We saw the cars parked in the parking lot that looked like ants! When we were coming down from the Square Ledge, we had to slide on the rocks that were on the trail to get down because it was raining. I was telling people in our group where the loose rocks were. There was a big glob of quartz that we found. It looks like fools gold. 

The next day, we went to Lost Pond. When we got to Lost Pond, we sat on a giant rock which was flat. There we ate snack silently. We heard birds chirping and water washing along the side of the rock. This sounded peaceful. When we were walking back from Lost Pond, I twisted my ankle so we went onto a little platform that was made out of loose rocks and I put the foot that I twisted my ankle into the mountain water and it felt like I put ice under 0*F on my foot! 

After that, I found a rock that broke in half which had this silvery material inside. It was like a silver liquid. The leader of the group told me it was a rare rock that was never seen before. When the silver liquid dropped into the water, it disappeared instantly. It turned clear. 

When we came back from the white mountains i went home and told my mom every thing.
