Day 2 Visiting The Spokane Tribal Hatchery

Last night I didn't really get that much sleep because of a large rainstorm happening honestly I thought It was going to overflow my tent. For some reason because the water was dropping into the tent but it was just condensation going through the tent it wasn't the water. But later in the morning I woke up to take a shower and proceeded to try to get ready for the day. Packed up everything and cleaned up my tent as everyone started waking up, I tried to offer to help out set up for breakfast and we had that we talked to her on how what we're going to do today. We were going to go to a fish hatchery focusing on trying to bring back the salmon to Spokane, it's nice to see people trying to bring back animals that used to flourish in Spokane we went to the egg Hatchery and we met three people.

Tom Peone - fish Hatchery manager Casey Fannigan- water fish project manager

Calvin Fisher- a water resource specialist fish biologist

 The main goal of the fish hatchery was to help bring salmon to Spokane rivers and take care of the Spokane species.

 Throughout the whole tour, I saw multiple depictions of Native Americans fishing by spearing the fish. While they were climbing up the river and also how the chief used to call for the salmon to come back home to the Spokane rivers. I did do sketches but I couldn't really make some detailed ones because it was a tour. I don't want to help up the whole group but there were tanks full of salmon and different species of fish, it was quite weird seeing a new species of salmon that's just pure white more albino and we went to the machine where they tag the fish even the baby fish later.

 On we were helping out in the fish survey catching fish trying to see if some of the species of fish came back to the waters. They used to have it by using electricity in water and catch them while they are stunned don't worry we use very low voltage so they won't die not going to lie almost fall down into the water most of the time. How's everything was done we said goodbye Tim Calvin and cosey. head off to camp and to wrap up with some studies we needed to do here is the end of the blog because I need to get ready for the next day.

Day 9 desert search

 Day 9                The strange thing is that I wake up late. Not really, I wake up at the same time as the other. I know that it's ok but it’s strange to me that it happened. But I felt bad that I did not help to begin with. I do like helping because things get done with hard work. I do believe that hard workers get awarded in the end.      The day was normal for as normal as it could be we when to meet up with the three workers we are going to help with. but before we got to them, I had a small nap in the car and woke up to a desert out the window so let’s play a game about how did I act at this moment. A) nothing B) when back to sleep D) tried to understand what happened. (Ding ding ding it was D) I just woke up but that aside we helped in looking for rare plants in the area.                We meet the three that we are going to help Marlo Fisher the botanies, Antey’s Lundazi, and serai Ganbin we help them with the service help by looking for a plant that had a long and ha

Day 8 The final Stage of the Game

Day 8 was the day we had to pack up our things from Camp to move to the next one and I missed the open Camp compared to the newest one. The new campsite was within the Woods and it gets really dark quickly but the weather is just very cold. So, we just have to have to layer some extra clothes on ourselves. That's not much of a hassle in my opinion.     I had a very bad day of bladder problems, I literally wanted to go to the bathroom almost every second of the day I don't know why it happened. But it took us a while to get to the new camp it was a pretty peaceful site to see not much of a problem at all the only thing I could complain about it is the bathroom those cartoons type typical ones that you'll see in a cartoon it just needed a crescent moon there but what are you going to do. At least you have a place to go to the bathroom, but still, there was a whole bunch of mosquitoes near it could the lake whatever you can call Creek near the entrance of the camp.  I had my o

Day 6 A Nice Walk In The Woods

As usual, we woke up in the morning and got everything ready. I cleaned my tent. After all, it gets filled with blades of grass when I walk around because a little bit of water eventually covers up your whole shoe or sandals. Drags a whole bunch of grass here tent yes the small inconveniences but I woke up quite really early and it feels good we're going to put it early with a comfortable amount of sun warming you up while you're looking into the sunset that feels nice I can't tell you how much I liked it how much I wanted to try to draw or paint the place I didn't have time to do it or the right type of media I wanted to do it.  But we have been visited by one of the park rangers if I'm wrong I'm sorry but he is one of the people that help run the place we're staying and his name is Ray Entiz he gave us a tour around me walk in the trail in the forest nearby our camp the main jobs were to do surveys changing the behavior of jaguars through sounds like a few
