Pinnacle's Tourist Trap

Pinnacle's tourist trap is located along in the midland region. A lot of wild animals are found within their vast conservancy and tourists can spend their time seeing different animals. In the middle of the trap, there is a wide river that cuts through it, and beautiful vegetation covers almost the whole land. There is also a mountain that is not very tall where tourists go hiking while others carry out fishing in the river. Additionally, there are human-made resources such as swimming pools, playing fields, resting beaches among other many recreational facilities. There is also an airstrip that is located 2kilometers away from the playing field where the majority of the tourists come and leave the site through. Other than the tourists who flock from different places in the world, there are also workers in the site who deals with various tasks. The place is filled with people of all ages, gender, and race but a majority of the tourist are white (55%) with the black people (25%) being the second largest of the group of people who visit the Pinnacle tourist trap.

Their actions represent the culture of people to take vacations after being on the work and their appreciation of the happiness that nature brings when one interacts with it. Additionally, the culture of harmonious interaction is also portrayed especially be how different groups associate freely despite being from varied races, social class among other many differences between them. The interaction between the people and the environment is pervasive as people spend their time fishing, hiking, viewing different types of animals and also reviewing the different species of plants in the tourist trap. The workers also interact with the environment by maintaining its cleanliness and ensuring the safety of both vegetation and animals in the site. The themes of geography are very evident in this place. The first one is the human-environment interaction which enables the individual to have a better understanding of how this contributes to cultural landscape and develop a sense of the place (Williams & Lew, 2014). Additionally, the theme of location is also clear as one can get the concept of how the place makes it suitable for attracting tourist and in what ways is it able to achieve the set objective. Finally, the theme of the place is also observable by analyzing the human and physical aspects of the site (Seamon, 2015). There are unique characteristics of people who come to visit the location as well as the composition of such groups which have been identified in my notes.

 I am a little lost in your observation.  What is Pinnacle's Tourist Trap?  Not being familiar with this name and with no relative or absolute location description, I do not know where this is so cannot put it into context. 

I can see that you did some additional research to enhance your observation which is great.  I wonder if you and I could talk after class to have you clarify this assignment to see if you can fill in some details so I can assess this more accurately. 

 (e.g., mall, student union, coffee shop, grocery store, Ashland or Medford park, festival, music or theater event, street fair, or tourist trap) Use your imagination and go somewhere there will be some action and interaction of people and place
