Dahlonega

 We went to Dahlonega Georgia on Wednesday. The first place we went to was the museum. I learned that gold wasn’t found in GA. it was found in South Carolina. They used bowl and a cart to look for gold. The museum was in an old courthouse. We went mining as well. It was cold. We learned that bats lived in the mines, and slept until April. If they were awakened before April then they would die of starvation. We also went panning for gold, I learned that going to fast and shaking the pan to hard can cause you to lose your gold. The drill they used to inside the mines were 3 times as loud than jack hammers used today on the streets. I really like that I found gold while we were panning. I enjoyed the bus ride because it wasn’t as long as the trip to cloudland canyon. It was cool that they have the museum in an old courthouse. Thank you transition program for allowing us to go on the trip it was great.
