I enjoyed this Skype. Some cool things I learned were that, since beaver felt hats were so popular, famous trappers came through the Yellowstone area. It was also cool to learn about obsidian, a type of lava glass that is extremely durable. It was carved into arrowheads when found.
I also learned some cool facts about Yellowstone. For example, the hot springs colored like rainbows were interesting to find out were boiling hot and acidic. I also learned about mud pots that bubble up and makes sounds like pops. I found out, surprisingly, Yellowstone is a super volcano only 2-3 miles above a lava source, which is pretty close considering that some places are as far as 30 miles away.
I was glad to take part in this Skype because I learned a bit about the Oregon Trail and a little bit about Yellowstone that I had never learned before.
