Jackson Springs Park

Visiting Jackson Springs Park has easily been my favorite lab.  I had no idea such a pretty place existed in Macon, especially behind Baconsfield.  Although I went there to learn about geology I became much more interested in the neighborhood development.  After the lab a friend and I drove around and through the neighborhoods to look at the beautiful houses.  The lots were spectacular and the houses were even better.  I have determined that if I continue to live in Macon I will live in one of those houses.  They remind me of the houses in Buckhead Atlanta.  Not necessarily big, buy the certainly are beautiful.

After watching the video about Megaflood I learned how many processes the Earth has for shaping it's landscape.  Previously thinking, like most geologists at the time, that water slowly forms the land I was surprised and intrigued to find out that it happened very rapidly.  I was even more shocked when I found out that bubbles had dominated by creating huge potholes in the ground.  After watching the video I am determined to visit the Scab Lands and do some epic hiking.
