Day Twelve: Nun Much

Day twelve: 7/18/18 Today we didn’t really do anything much. We woke up around 7:30am this morning. Today was pack up day. It’s a very slow but fast day. All we had planned today was to get up, eat breakfast, shower, pack up, do our blogs, and then head out to Colville, WA. Everything was alright, but I’m not feeling the best. My wisdom teeth are coming in and is not feeling pleasant. Today is just one of those days.

Day Five: 7/11/18 This morning we woke up around 6:00am. It was freezing cold. I didn’t want to get out of my bed. Breakfast was good. I’m glad they had bought some more bagels.

He also introduced us to Brian and Kacie the fish biologist (A.K.A. The fish Doctors), also Kyle and Xavier. We had hit the road to go shock fish at a creek called Little Creek. We were there looking for Red Band trout. I didn’t go and shock fish though. I went to look and collect information on the different forms of life living in this creek. We were able to determine if the water in the creek was clean or not. It was clear that there were much life in the creek and was a good sign already. I was doing this with Pedro and Maria. We had two butterfly like nets. The creek didn’t have a very strong flow so we kind of had to create our own currents. This all took place in Kalispel by the way. The strategy was to put the two nets together as close to the ground and Pedro went a little ways up stream. He kicked roc...
