One of the places I went to as a kid on a class trip was Ringing Rocks Park in Upper Black Eddy, Pennsylvania. The park features a huge boulder field made up of rocks that, when tapped lightly with a hammer, will emit a pleasant ring.

It doesn’t seem that geologists have determined exactly what makes the rocks ring, but kids don’t care. They just want to take a hammer to them and play rock music!

Here’s a short sample of how it sounds. Cool, huh?

 

All I needed to do for the trip was remember to bring a hammer. There wasn’t much to do if you didn’t have a hammer. We all talked about our hammers before taking the trip. Which hammer would we bring? A big, heavy hammer or a little hammer? Teachers told us it didn’t matter. Any hammer would do. Just bring a hammer.

I forgot my hammer.
