The field trip that I enjoyed most was the campus wet walk. I was very uncertain about how I was going to react having to walk almost waist deep through water. My uncertainties were met with excitement as we began to slowly wade into the water. This field trip left the biggest impression on me because for the entire duration of the class prior to the wet walk I was very unoptimistic about the lessons. The field trip helped expand my sense of place because it exposed me to parts of nature I am usually not exposed to. I learned a lot about how some marshes and other forms of water help reduce flood risks naturally. The campus wet walk made me instantly think of the reading written by Douglas titled The Everglades: River of grass. The scenes depicted in this reading I found relatively close to the scenes exposed to me during the campus wet walk. My overall experience had been a positive one because I am enjoying something I at first believed I would hate.
