My Sixth Day At Camp


My day began at 6:30 in the morning. I woke up and the first thing I did was brush my teeth and organize my things for the day. Once I finished arranging my clothes and the place where I slept, I went to help prepare things for lunch. When I finished organizing, I sat down to eat with my companions. After lunch, we started loading things into the van to head to our next destination.
Our objective was to help Marlo Fisher find some plants called pumicola. We were looking for these plants because they used to be abundant in the area, but now they are endangered. Marlo told us that he didn't know the specific role of these plants in the environment, but we were looking for them because they are currently very rare.
First, we went to a place where we didn't find many pumicola plants. Then we went to another site, and indeed there were more there, as that place was better cared for than the previous one. After searching for the plants, we went to take a shower and then headed to the camp. Upon arrival, we organized our things. Once finished, we went to the lake to take water samples for analysis.
After dinner, I washed the dishes and then we observed the samples taken earlier under the microscope. I was very impressed by what I saw, as fascinating details could be observed. Finally, we gathered everything we had used and went to sleep. It was a rather exhausting day, but also very productive. That was my day.

My thirteenth day at camp.

Today I woke up at 7:30 in the morning and had breakfast. After that, we cleaned all the dirty dishes, and at 10:00 AM, we started working on our poster for class. First, we worked on the methods, and then a man named Warren arrived, who is skilled at giving inspiring talks. We had the opportunity to speak with him in a circle, and it was truly moving to hear what he shared. Later, we had lunch, and after eating, we continued working on our posters, this time focusing on the results of our bacteria research. We also created a spreadsheet to classify the types of bacteria. Once the posters were completed, we took a short break. After the break, we had dinner. Once we finished dinner, we organized the used dishes and cleaned the area. Then, we took an exam and finally completed our reports. After finishing my report for today, I went to sleep.

My Seventh Day At Camp

I woke up at 6 in the morning to start preparing things for our next destination, Mitchell. Before leaving, we had breakfast and then headed to the bookstore to complete some work. There, I had the opportunity to call my family to greet them. After that, we ate in a park and visited a very interesting museum where I could learn about the life of Native Americans and the Old West era. It was a enriching experience for me, as I am not familiar with those cultures and enjoy learning about how they lived and what they did. Additionally, I observed various birds in the area and many otters in a pond. After seeing the otters, we enjoyed the beauty of the birds and then left the museum to head to Mitchell, our final destination. We were warmly welcomed, set up our tents, had dinner, I took a shower, and finally went to sleep. This was my seventh day of travel.

My Ninth Day At Camp

 My day started at 5:30 in the morning. The first thing I did upon waking up was to start organizing my things because we had to move to our next campsite. Once I finished packing my clothes, we went to have breakfast. After breakfast, we began to dismantle the tents and load them onto the camper, along with all the other things that were outside. Once we finished packing everything, we went to the cafeteria to work on the posters about the bacteria we are culturing. After working on the posters, we went to a canal to collect water samples. Then, we started loading everything to head to our new campsite. We had a long road trip ahead, and it was indeed quite a long journey. Halfway through, we stopped at a gas station to buy some supplies. After that, we headed straight to our new destination, which is called Harris Park. Once we arrived, we set up the tents and prepared everything for the night. We also unloaded everything from the camper to start cooking. Once we finished unloadi...
