Day 7 A long Drive

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 extra sausage McMuffin to Yoleth. Soon we continues the rode and a few hours later we made a break stop where we also had our lunch. (In the car because it was way to windy and cold outside) Our next stop was at another gas station where we had to pull up again, I noticed that they had a deal but 2 red bulls and get one free, I decided to get the deal to have extra drink for the next few days. (I decided to save thill I get home because we are outside and I do not want any thing bad to happened to me while we are out and about.) After the stop we had around 1 hour and 30 minutes left from the camp ground. When we arrived the started setting up our tents again and than started dinner. For dinner we had tortillas with meat and beans! After dinner we had to do another sample and incubate the water samples as we did the other day. Around 9:12 we were doing our own things and me and roman sat around the table and just started talking, as well as saying that we missed home and that we wanted to go back already. Maybe around 10:40 we headed to our tents and started talking about things we were scared of, I remember Roman said he was scared of something and it freaked me out so I told his to shut up (I didn't mean it in a rude way I was just scared because I didn't expect to say what he had said. Something I forgot to mention was that we saw some Seagulls that started eating some tomatoes that we accidentally dropped at the gas station while putting ice in some coolers we had.

Day 6 Science Day

Image
Today we woke up and realized we did not have to pack a lunch since we were going to stay at the campground for a science day. So today for breakfast, I had a bagel with strawberry cream cheese (spread). Jessica did teach us about how cow waste can affect the river, and how it could create new bacteria in the water. Talking about bacteria.... Not all bacteria are bad; some can be good for the water source, but some can affect it. After the little lecture, we headed to the RV and started looking at our bacteria that we started growing from the river samples we have been collecting.  At this point, I had finished the science project we were doing, so I asked my classmates if I could take a picture of them, and they said yes. This was the setup of the project that we were doing. The tubes have two sides red and Yellow. The red side has grown harmful bacteria and the yellow side has general growth and pigment. We had to get some bacteria and spread them on the Petri dishes, then put th...

Day 2

People of the Big River. June 16, 2025. The second day, this morning I woke up and there were some classmates as well as the professors who were outside setting up the table for breakfast. They had also set up a table with snacks and food so we could take to have lunch later that day. Our first stop was to a small river called Birck Creeck we took some samples of the water and started fixing something that we would need to find the PH, speed, and turbidity of the water. We also had to take notes of visual observation of the water source. Since the tools we used were the first time some of us have used it took a while for us to get the information. In this area, there was not as much grass around just big boulders and some small rocks.                                                                        ...

Day 1

During the first day of the People of the Big River, 6-15-2025, we went to Heritage and started doing a lab on good and bad bacteria called a gram stain protocol. Soon after we started loading everything onto the suburban, and figured out what suburban we would be getting on. We then went on our way to our first location called Bird Creek. Once we had arrived at the camping site we unloaded our tents and started setting them up. Roman and I struggled to set up our tent since the ground was rough and did not let us put the stakes onto the ground, I looked over to see if everyone was also struggling, but everyone had their tents set up already. Soon one of our classmates saw us struggling and helped us set our tent up, we did have to move places a few times. Later we had dinner and had fun meeting and talking to our classmates.
