Matt & Mike Hickman on the Great Wall
"Hello Unadilla! Mike, Matt, and I went to the Mutianyu section of the
Great Wall a few weeks ago. This section of the Wall was first restored
in the early Ming Dynasty, 1368-1644, on the remnants of a Wall originally
built in the Northern Qi Dynasty, 550-577. The most recent renovation of
the Wall at Mutianyu took place from 1982-1986, at the direction of the
Beijing government. Rather than a defensive fortification, the Mutianyu
Great Wall Park has been designated a national tourist attraction, where
it attracts thousands of visitors each year. We took a cable car ride up
the side of the mountain, and then climbed up on the Wall itself.
It was fascinating! -Becky Hickman"

Did you know recycling just one aluminum can saves enough energy
to run a computer or television set for 3 hours? It takes 95% less energy
to make a new aluminum can from a recycled can.
