Traveling in the Irishman Road to see Esker and Acadian Trails.

Here at the Irishman's Road recreational site is an old apple tree and Irvin is exploring what could possibly be an old Esker dating back to the Ice Age. We don't know this for sure it could be a good man with a bulldozer about 50 or 60 years! But let's continue the Acadian Trails adventures!

Good job Irvin. Could be a moraine or end moraine. A shovel test would tell. A moraine has larger material pushed along by the glacier. An esker shows sand and fine gravel in a shovel test - the material was sorted as the weight of the ice created a stream underneath and the gravels separated as the glacier receded. Forestry workers will often locate roads near eskers that can be seen on aerial photographs. The eskers provide gravels for road building.
