Volcano “Tings”! and s’mores!

​Volcano tings!

Today seemed like it was going to be more of an explore and relaxed day, for example less note taking and just enjoy the places we visit, but than learning and taking notes is just a habit ! Laugh out loud! Anyways after our amazing… cereal 🥲. We went to a lava flow cave! We got our introduction by state park rangers and working for the park, which took to long and a lot of talking ahah but than we got spot lights and got on our way to the cave. This is a public park so there is a lot of people too. The cave was nice and cold about 45 degrees down below. The roof of the cave at start was about 60 feet tall. The ranger told us about how the cave gets smaller and smaller, but he explained the roof stays the same level and the bottom is what rises until the cave ends. I was excited to see bats but bats only live in caves to hibernate and it’s the summer so no bats lmao! The cave was fun but it could of been more fun if there was more excising and less people.


After cave diving we went to this volcano lava butte down the road from the cave. The butte was awesome because it was in shape of a cone and in the middle of the top in went down.

After the butte we went to one of the falls down the river that was pretty amazing. What was amazing about this river is the lava come from under the ground and hit the river so after the lava hardened from the river it caused awesome falls and made some intense rapids! I almost lost my iPhone 13 pro plus by running down to the river upon our arrival, I was low key scared of not finding it but I did!😂

After the river exploring that we didn’t swim in we went back to camp. At camp we all seemed tired out! We cooked up breakfast for dinner, and it was so far the best meal of the trip! After dinner I made a fire and most of us sat around it, made the best s’mores ever and told stories(scaring and interesting), Until bedtime. This day seemed to be the best day of the trip.

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

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 u

Moving Camp to Kalispel Reservation!

​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
