While some area children have been participating in the Farm Show, others have been participating in Summer Quest, the regional Governor’s summer program for gifted and talented students.
About 30 of these have been involved in a two-week program called “The Mountains.” In its fifth year, the program was started by high school English teacher Jon Heddleston. Five Rappahannock students have been involved this summer. They have been joined by students from Culpeper, Madison and Fauquier counties.
Last week the students toured the county landfill, searched for Native American artifacts near Old Rag Mountain, and learned some of the history of the Shenandoah Park from Darwin and Eileen Lambert, who have a cabin in Page County . bordering the park. Mr. Lambert was the first employee in the park, and he has written several books about the park.
On the .search for Indian artifacts, the students were not very successful; their search was interrupted when they found a rattles' nake on the path. The snake did not strike, but it didn’t move either, and then the rain did strike.
On Monday they hiked the '■ Stoney Man Mountain trail in the - park and picnicked on rocks at the end of the trail overlooking the Shenandoah Valley.
Sheldon Winpfen, a retired mining engineer and geologist led the hike, starting by explaining that all the rock on Stoney Man is igneous, formed from lava flows that formed 150 to 200 million years ago under about a mile of rock that has since eroded away. The area was the site of a lot of volcanic activity at that time and it was crossed by fault lines, Mr. Winpfen said.
