Day and Night 7

Day 7

    Rise and shine!!! The new day is here and it’s time for a calm, relaxing, travel day! I started off by packing everything and helping Lis take our tent down. I wanted to get everything done before eating breakfast! I had the same breakfast I’ve been having for the past days now but I freaking love Kix! I also mixed in a bit of cheerios in there!! I quickly packed my lunch and helped load the waters and coolers onto the truck! We finally got into the suburbans and left our campsite! We stopped at a gas station and McDonalds in the morning and I got myself some drinks and a breakfast at McDonalds which would probably explain why I didn’t eat my lunch…. But, the car ride was super fun! No awkwardness at all and we were all joking and having fun! We shared stories and listened to music! We of course took naps because the ride was long! I kept snoring out of nowhere and waking myself up l. I would get so embarrassed and even apologized a bunch of times! We stopped at another gas station and all of a sudden we saw seagulls come by. Apparently the reason the seagulls spawned was because Corbin dropped some tomatoes outside and they were all eating them…. So a big thank you to him for the rise of the seagulls to strike upon a small gas station. After that, we drove a few more hours and stopped at a rest stop to use the restrooms! We finally arrived at our campsite and Lis and I set up our tent! This was one of the fastest times that we were able to set it up! We’re getting better at putting it up!!! After the tent was set up, we all had time to ourselves until dinner time!

Night 7
   
   For dinner, we had tacos and burritos! I felt like it was a little different than other dinners since we could choose what our burrito/tacos had inside! It was so good!! Monet even made me a homemade crunch wrap supreme! It was very delicious!! I know I definitely had a full belly that night!! I was also probably full because I put a bunch of ingredients in the burrito/taco! After dinner, it was a pretty chill night, we just had a campfire and I collected a bunch of pine needles to keep the fire going. I kept getting poked and stabbed by them… I just enjoyed the fire for a bit and played my Nintendo Switch for while as the time passed by. I got into the tent like at around 10:30 pm since I was feeling tired. Other than that, it was a pretty longish shortish day! Next day will be a science day so can’t wait for that!!!

Day 13

 June 27th of 2025 Day 13     Today we were able to wake up a little later!! We woke up at around 7:00 am and had our breakfast! At 8:30 am, we started to finish up our lab work so we could do our gram stain research later at the conference room we were in yesterday. We then picked up all our stuff since we had to be in the suburbans at 12:15 due to us going to the Walla Walla Hatchery for a tour! We arrived like in two minutes and went inside.  We met Thomas Tallbull, the manager at the Hatchery! He was kind enough to give us a tour around the hatchery. He explained how the place worked and even showed us the big control panel that controls pretty much the whole facility. We saw these tiny fish all over the facility and even saw rainbow trout. Once we were done with the tour, we headed over the Umatilla Tribal Agency to finish out gram stain research projects and worked on our water quality charts. We also met with Melissa to do our interviews and I want to say that...

Day and Night 12

 June 27th of 2025 Day 12     It was such a busy day today. We started out by eating breakfast and then got straight into the suburbans. We even had to pack clothes so we could shower right after our work. The first place we went to was to a plant nursery where we met with a very cool and fun lady.      Her name is Gail Redberg. She is the manager at the CTUIR Plant Nursery. She got a Bachelors in Biology Education at CWU and then decided to teach for a while. She even taught Bio for a year in Canada. Gail also got her Masters in Biology at Walla Walla University.      Gail gave us a tour around the plant nursery and we eventually helped her do some work. A group trimmed some the plants while Jessica and I organized the plants so they could have better access to the sun. We spent about 30 minutes to an hour out there but I didn't mind! Organizing the plants was a very fun job to do! The way the pattern flows and the way the pot just slid into...

Day 2!!!!

 June 16th of 2025!      It is officially Day 2 of the trip and surprisingly, I slept very comfortably in the tent last night! I did move around a bit but I didn't fall off the mini air mattress! I also woke up a few times when it got cold outside! So I just got in my sleeping bag and went back to sleep! Anyway, we all woke up around 7:30 but I got out of my tent like around 8:00 to go have breakfast! Today I had cereal and coffee for breakfast! Lis and I then went to a table where we packed our lunch for the day! After that, we picked up everything and headed to the suburbans to get ready for our science project! We started off with funny stories and laughs! I eventually put on my earbuds and went on my device and listened to some music while it was quiet! (Yes, we don't have Wifi but I have my own music).       First, we headed to Bird Creek River where we got water samples and did some research! Lis and I talked to Corbin and Monet as they kept...
