Activity for Monday. October 4.

Today was our first day documenting activity in Glen Canyon Park. It went well as we were able to get testimonies from the people we met concerning their experiences and what they know about Islais Creek. We began our walk to the "summit" (a rocky cliff area that overlooks the canyon below, and the car traffic across the canyon). We chose to walk this same trail everyday in hopes of seeing a pattern in the visitors we see on a daily basis. It was very cold and windy, so sound may have been difficult to capture. Some questions we tried to ask all interviewees were the following:
1. What kind of dog do you have? (icebreaker)
2. What do you know about Islais Creek?
3. How often do you visit the park?
4. Do you live close by?
