Travel day once again!

​Travel day once again!

 

I was expecting to wake up at 5am but we was fortunate to sleep in until 6! It’s travel day once again. We’re packing it up and leaving Kalispel to head south into bend Oregon area. It didn’t take us long to pack up and leave. I just relaxed and had my head phones in the whole ride. But I did call my brother and told him we was stopping at his regular gas station along the Columbia river where he fishes and I ask him for some salmon. He said yeah he can meet us there and he did. He hooked me up with some smoked salmon and dried salmon and I thank him a lot for doing that for me. 

Once we got to bend our professor hooked us up with some take out food because we was on the road to long so we ate good once again!

 

After heading up the hill from Bend we was in the mountains driving next to huge mountain peaks with snow in them. We had to have passed about 4 camp areas before getting to ours. We was quickly swamped by mosquitoes upon our arrival to camp. We set up camp the fastest we ever set it up. Everyone was super tired from the long travel day. Most of us hangout around the camp fire Lance and Kayonnie built up and enjoyed the night sky high up in the mountains for a while before calling it a night.

Kalispel tribe!

​Kalispel tribe! After our delicious breakfast cereal, we got introduced to the tribe/natural resource program by the Wildlife and water resource Director, Ray Entz. Ray entz is really cold person and has a good sense of humor. He basically brief us about everything the tribe is doing in the forestry and river. He was able to tell us that much because the tribe is really small! I found it very interesting that they do get grizzly bears and a lot of cougars! The cougar program they have is really big and important. They track the cats down and trap them so they can collar them. The tribe collars them for many reasons, one is to examine the different ways to scare them away from humans. Another is to just track them. Ray had a lot of information he shared with us but that was what I mainly got out of it. After talking for a while we had are first hands on experience at this location, we had to pull weeds out of their native tress nursery! We pull weeds for about an hr in a half!  After R

​Day five! Leaving Spokane Rez to go to Kalispel Rez! Today was a early morning, we had to get straight to eating breakfast at 630 am to go right into making a “lunch” and that is sandwiches like every other day, hahaha! After making our lunches we pack everything up and headed out, right before we got off the rez I finally scene a deer! This wasn’t any deer it was a nice 3 point mule buck! That made my morning!  The whole 3 hour drive to Kalispel I just listened to my peyote jams the whole way. We did actually stop at a laundry mat to clean our laundry. Well we waited I visited with some family over the phone and moisturized my skin because it was looking a little dry! (Lol). We also stopped at Walmart so we can catch up on our groceries and other items people needed to get. I just stayed on the van and caught up on my emails and assignments. Kalispel seems a lot like Spokane reservation to me, in the mountains and has they’re own river. The river here is called Pend Oreille River, an
