July 12th


On 7/12/19 We ate oatmeal for breakfast and then decided to work on our blogs. After we decided to set up some trial cams so we could see some deer, birds, and possible a cougar/ mountain lion. We ended up going to Newberry national forest, there we toke a hike, checked out the museums, and I watched a presentation about the types of rocks and it was interesting. After we toke a trip up to the top of the mountains there, it was fun to see certain mountains and how big the national forest was. I would like to say the staff was friendly and had great information and great service. Later at night we ate tacos and I told more stories of Sasquatch, I hope I didn’t scare anybody that night.

On 7/13/19 We were able to sleep in until 8:00 am today. After for breakfast we had bacon, eggs, hash browns, beans, oatmeal, and tortillas. After we spilt into our original three groups and set up camera traps again. We found two good spots with birds, butterflies, honeybees and flowers. While the other spot has 2 cameras with lots of deer and elk poop we hope to see some animals come to the area because the poop looked like it was only a few days old. (Possibly when we first showed up). We then went to a pool to enjoy our day off for the rest of the day.

On 7/6/19 we waited for Jessica/ Dr. Black and other people to show up for the trip we were going on. We unloaded everything such as sleeping bags and other gear. Before we left Jessica was waiting for a package, so we went to a store to get some extra supplies. When we returned Jessica was there ready to leave for the big trip. As we entered we saw a brown bear (possible yearling) it ran away as he had been kicked out by his mother. After, we reached camp chaparral there we camped set up our tents and ate smores and talked. After we talked my friends heard me tell stories of Sasquatch, they wanted to hear so I told them some personal stories and stories told by family and close friends after the stories I believe I convinced two people that the creature existed, but most were very skeptical. After listening to all the story’s, we all went to bed.

On 7/15/19 We woke up at 6:30 am and had some breakfast along with some lunch meat. After, we signed some volunteer form’s, so we could go work with the botanists. While working with the botanists there we met Marlow fisher- botanist, plant manager for the U.S. forest service and she is from bend/fort rock. Next, we met Charlene, she is a botanist for the district. First, we were given some back-round information for example in the year 1994 they collected 87 samples of the green tinted paintbrush that information was interesting because that was the only time they had counted those trees. We were also told the paintbrush can only be found in central Oregon so that was cool. Next, we were counting plants specifically the green tinted paintbrush. I asked a question “what does this plant do for the ecosystem?” I was then told she doesn’t quite know but she does know the plant must survive with a host or the plant will die because Charlene said, “The plant has a root that connects to...
