People of the Big River Day 4

 

We were able to sleep in a little bit longer this Saturday morning and the lovely Monet Becenti cooked us an amazing breakfast that consisted of pancakes, eggs and bacon. After breakfast we paired off to complete tasks like washing dishes, putting stuff away, getting out the lunch food. So, we took turns making our lunches and packing our snacks for the day. This was an exceptionally exciting day because we were going to Two Rivers to swim. The drive down to Two Rivers was beautiful with lots of trees and hills. On our way back we saw a white tale deer. Once we were back at the camp site Monet cooked us dinner, we ate and cleaned up. Then Dr. Shuster passed out our Bio paddles Agar Slides which contained Cottonwood bacteria samples, that has been incubating for 31 hours. I did see some bacterial growth on my slide, which was exciting to see. Finally, we set up the small portable projector and watched a scary movie called Antlers.

People of the Big River day 5

  We had a pleasant 6:30 AM wake up call. I am usually waking up around 5:30 AM so I can get to the showers and get myself together. We ate breakfast and did our chores at a quicker pace this Sunday morning because we needed to pack up our camp and go to the Kalispel Tribal Reservation. After we packed everything, we hit the road around 11 AM we stopped off at a laundromat in Airways heights. While waiting for our laundry to wash me and my friend Agnes ate and nice Chinese restaurant in the same building. We split a chicken teriyaki plate with pot stickers. We all finished our laundry after about an hour and half. We left the laundromat and headed to Walmart which was about a mile down the road. We restocked on ice, groceries and any personal items. I bought more travel size shampoo, conditioner and body wash. We got back on the road and arrived at Indian Creek Community Forest of the Kalispel Tribe. While we were unloading and setting up our tents Monet cooked us dinner, we had tacos

People of the Big River day 11

 We slept in until 7:15 AM, I got all my stuff together and had coffee and oatmeal for breakfast. We got to the Big Obsidian flow around 9 AM. We climbed to a sight seeing spot at the top, very nice. Obsidian was beautiful. We also seen Lichen growing on the Obsidian which was cool to see. Once we left there we headed to the High Desert Museum and looked though all the exhibits and seen all the animals. They has Trout, Foxes, Owls, snakes and Otters there as well. They has an exhibit telling about the different Tribes in the area including the Yakama Tribe, where I grew up. We also seen bead work and clothing and pictures from way back when which was very interesting. Once we left the museum we headed to the public library in Bend Oregon so we could upload our blogs.

People of the Big River day 8

  For the last day in Kalispel, we woke up to rain. It was an early day of packing and chores. We needed to get on the road because we needed to drive from Kalispel to Bend Oregon which was around an 8-hour drive. So, I showered and packed my personal belongings. I ate maple and brown sugar oatmeal for my breakfast instead of the usual cold cereal. We got on the road around 9 AM to start our journey. I rode with Monet Becenti, Agnes Meninick, and Robert Onley in the black van and really enjoyed their company. At the stop in Biggs Oregon, Roberts brother was fishing on the Columbia River near by, so his Brother brought him smoked Salmon. Me and Agnes pitched in and bought some. We stopped about six times for gas, bathroom breaks, and lunch. Again, we traveled in a convoy, black van, truck and RV in the middle and white van in the back. We managed to stay together for the most part. Due to time constraints we had to get food from a restaurant, so we ate at Panda Express, very delicious.
