People of the Big River 2025 CAMPING trip

Well today we woke up at 6 am and headed to the CTUIR Plant Nursery and met Gail. She works in Plant Nursery We helped her cut some plants and sort them out into a metal grate, it had a bunch of little squares that held the plants up. Gail showed us the way to cut the plants and ways not to cut the plant, but she also told us that if we mess up it did not matter since it "would not be the end of the world" this made me feel a littler better because I felt like I would probably mess something up. When we finished, Gail told us that she would let us have a plant to take. The plant she gave us was a tree that does not really get sold, since it was not advertised enough. I got a plant and named it Aisha, she's tall and has many leaves. I'm so exited to take it home and care for it, I know my mom and dad will enjoy having a tree home since we do not have any at our house. Around 11 am we headed to Nixyaawii Government Agency where we met Andrew Wildbill he did a presentati...

  This morning was so hard for me to wake up. sine the day prior we made some dams at the Black View Point. We did our best to leave around 7:30 am to get to our next camp ground, since the drive would be around 6-7 hours. when we started our journey Raquel, Roman, Yoleth, And I started talking to each other and making conversation, this made the ride feel less far than what it was. There was a point where Corban started playing music and Raquel had asked if she could play a song, soon after I asked if I could play a song. Raquel liked the music I had put on and she asked me who the singer was. I showed her who she was on her phone and the music she plays. The music Me, Raquel, and Yoleth had played where rap songs, I enjoyed hearing the music Raquel and Yoleth played, I told Raquel that the music she listens to did not match her style, she told me that she "likes surprising people'." Around 40 minutes we started for gas and headed to a rest stop to eat, lunch was good, i...

Today we headed out around 7:10 am from the camp ground we are staying at. We headed to. Sisters Ranger Station. to introduce our self to Liz Day, Christine, and Alex. Liz had a slide show she wanted to show us, but the projector did not want to cooperate with her. she ended up doing the slides on her computer, but most important she got some images out to show us since the projector was not working. When the presentation was over we had a 10 minute break so we could use the restroom, or get something from the gift shop. When we finished we headed to the suburban and went to a ware house to collect some waiver since we would be in water again, as soon as we finished getting some waivers we headed to the Lower Swamp Black View Point  to start the project. Todays project was to make some dams, because people started to kill beavers, now the dams are man made into they could get beavers to come back. Liz had told us that the closes beavers where six miles away, but that it would be da...

Today we headed early in the morning to Sand Springs Fort Rock Oregon. We met Marlo she told us that she wanted us to help her look for some rare plant called Pumice Moonwort. Marlo had told us that this plant was rare because in the land she would look for them, her, and her crew would find very little of the plant. we started around 10 and got lunch around 12pm. While we were looking for the plants there was very little that I found. Un till we turned back around clearing a new area is when I started finding some of the plants. The plants where very small maybe around 1 inch tall, but they were so different compared to other plants around them. Soon we realized that we were all running out of flags that we were using to show where the plants we find are at, so Jessica and Marlo looked around and realized that there was some places where we did not flagged the plants so Marlo decided to count the marketed plants than collect the flags to flag the unflagged plants. Than when we were ou...

 Day 8. Today we woke up extremely early🥲. When I walked to the cooking station I realized that the breakfast crew had made scrambled eggs, bacon, and dices potatoes. The bacons where exactly good, I also ended up grabbing a bagel with strawberry spread. After breakfast Jessica and Monet went to do laundry so that we'd have clean clothes for the rest of the week. Today was another science day where we have to transfer bacteria to a little class plate and kill the bacteria to look over them with the microscope 🔬, everything we saw was marked in our black folder to save the data for a later poster assignment. I enjoyed transferring bacteria from different tablets. Around 12:00 we had lunch, today I decided to have a peanut butter jelly sandwich. Soon after Jessica and Monet arrives with our clean clothes and headed to the showers. I did not like the shower today, the reason being is that we have two dollar to get tree minutes of hot water. Unfortunately I did not get hot water and ...

Day 7 was a long day, we woke up around 6 or 6:30 to get our things packed up so we could start heading to Oregon another camp xite where we would stay 2-3 days and get something done. When I woke up I headed to the RV where we had to get our breakfast and our lunches since the ride to Oregon would be around 7-8 hours. When we finished our breakfast and lunches we started putting all our things to the suburban and head away. During the ride we spotted a turkey 🦃. Corban told us that they were wild turkeys. Long away we had to make a stop at a gas station where Corban said that if we wanted snacks that would be the place to get it since the ride would be long. I go my self 2 red bulls a kit Kat and star wares candy, I also got Raquel a candy that I do not remember what it is called. This gas station also had a McDonald's right near to it so I described to go and buy myself something to eat. The food was not like I expected but since I was hungry I just finished it and handed a extr...
