Day 7: Friday, July 12.


    Today it’s my birthday and wasn’t expecting for my classmates to visit my tent at midnight and sing-wish me a happy birthday. It made my night. In the morning after eating breakfast we headed to Lava Butte a 7000-year-old coder come volcano in the edge of New Berry Volcano. Lava Butte has an elevation of 5020. When Butte erupted it’s lava flow travel six miles down hill. The view from the top of Butte was stunning, you could see the landscape that surrounds, including the trail where the lava travel downhill it’s stunning. At the end of the night my classmates surprised me with some brownies with birthday candles on top that shaped the number twenty six. I really appreciate what they did for my birthday. I will cherish this moment as long as I life.

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 12: Wednesday, July 17.      Today was an interesting day. We met with Alex Gonyaw again to talk about The Klamath Tribes aquatics program. This programs specializes in fish and tribes habitat. The main tribes being Modoc, Klamath and Yahouskin. The main thing that caught my attention was the fish going extinct. The C-waam ( lost river sucker) and Koptu (short nose sucker). This fish have between 10 to 15 years until they go completely extinct if we don’t do nothing about it. Some of the causes of extinction are drowning of marches and water quality. Most of the fish that are alive now are the same ones of each year. Most new spawn fish don’t survive the water quality or are kill by their competition. Then we went to Hagelstein County Park. In that park there’s a little lake not that big but the only lake where short nose sucker fish are able to live without dying. The problem is that it’s a public park and people can fish and swim in the lake, that’s not good for the almost
