On 7/17/19 We had cereal and some eggs and hash browns. After breakfast we made our lunch. After we made our lunch we decided to go to the Klamath tribe building where we watched a presentation of the Klamath, Modoc, Yahooskin. While watching the presentation I learned the Klamath and the other tribes have 5 different types of suckers, they were also a huge food source for specifically the Klamath people. The people who were presenting was a worker for the Klamath tribe he was named Alex Gonyaw and Brad Parish, a Heritage University Graduate and a tribal member of the Klamath and almost enrolled Yakama. After the presentation we went to go see the hatchery they have for the suckers there we saw from small to average to a little bigger. Next, we visited a dam, at the dam we saw wildlife such as ducks and ocean birds we also saw wild plums that were not ready yet, Alex said they would be ready in August. Soon after we left and made our way to the amp theater and noticed there was nobody, so we decided to take a walk through a trail to get our blood pumping and for some exercise. Later we were bitten by mosquitos and eventually made our way around the camp, it was fun, and I enjoyed it. I then told Yakama stories to a friend, I told about the Beaver, Coyote and Crow, Lamprey and Rattlesnake, Eagle and Coyote, Badger, and Tuttuthlia Rock. After that I looked to see if anyone was awake but to my surprise everyone was sleeping so I decided I would go to bed because tomorrow we would head to the beach.

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...
