Day 11: Tuesday, July 16.



    Getting up at 5:15 was not my ideal way to start my day but a visit to Crater Lake made up for it. Crater Lake is one of the deepest lake in United States with a depth of 1949 feet (594m). It’s blue and clear water made look beautiful. After that, we hike the watchman trail. The watchman trail has a length of 1.6miles and an elevation of 420feet but badly I didn’t reach the top because of time. Our class was on a hurry to meet up with Alex an environmental science graduate. He showed us the importance of trees and plants where for the Native Americans. One of the most interesting things for me was when he told us that the aspen was the biggest living organisms in this planet.

Day 13: Thursday, July 18.    It was a long morning for me today. We had to pack everything up to go the beach. Our group decided to go to the beach for our last trip in this amazing adventure. I didn’t appose to that since I have never been to the beach. I couldn’t wait to arrive. When we got there my expectations didn’t disappoint me. The beach is beautiful. After we ate dinner I couldn’t wait for the sunset. Just like in the movies the sundown was amazing. At night before going to sleep we did the circle. Everybody had the chance to talk about how they felt during the trip. I’m just happy to have had this amazing opportunity. Also, I’m very thankful for my classmate for making me feel part of the group.

Day 1:   Saturday, July 6.      It’s been a day since we started camping. At first my expectations were really low. This is my first time going camping and everything we are doing is new for me. I have seen how technology has really changed the way we live and you notice this the second you go camping. You need to depend more on natural resources than on technology that makes our way of life a lot easier, like a stove, microwave and electricity.

Day 5: Wednesday, July 10.    After a long and confusing night we headed to The fire management department. There Bob Sjolund did a presentation of the importance of prescribed fire and how important it is to practice this technique in order to improve the environment and to also to help prevent wild fires. This technique was used way back by tribes in order to keep the environment and its sources in good condition. They also showed us how treating landscapes can help bring much richer environment and healthier trees. Fire - it’s not always bad. It helps us improve our natural resources and also help us prevent wild fires that can affect many people and animals.
