Schoolwork for day 4

Hello students,
Looks like day 4 didn't print out in your work packet. Today we will be going to Moaning Cavern, California's largest cavern. It can fit the statue of liberty inside of it! Check out the main page on the Moaning Cavern URL below. When you are done, read and do the activities for Cavern Geology, Cavern Life, and People & Caverns. The links are below. (On your map highlight our path from our campsite in Lotus to Moaning Cavern)

When we get back to the campsite, we will be exploring the beautiful South Fork of the American River. The first gold in California was discovered about a mile down the river at a place that is now called Sutter's Mill. (On your map, draw a gold star where Sutter's Mill is located) Find out what was happening that led up to the discovery of gold there. Who was involved? Would you have been someone who would have packed up your life and moved to California for a dream of fortune?

Have fun!
