We arrived yesterday near Camp Chaparral at around 4 in the afternoon, I have never gone camping before so I was excited. The place was very beautiful, grassy and lots of tall white flowers, and we could hear the Klickitat River. A lot of people were very relieved that there was a portable bathroom near the camp. I had a lot of trouble setting up my tent so I had to have Alex and Xavier help me set it up. I don’t like where I set up my tent, I tried to set it up in a patch that didn’t have a lot of vegetation but as I have to walk towards my tent I displace a lot of bugs. I felt bad when I walked through the grass because all of the grasshoppers looked like they were fleeing from me, next time I’ll choose a place near the camp. Next I helped unload all the items from the back of the truck and set up in preparation for dinner. For dinner I helped Monet make spaghetti, I really like cooking so I wanted to be involved. The evening winded down from then and some people played the games provided and the others started the camp fire. I fell asleep around 9, missed the s’mores, and woke up at 11:30, the wind made the night even colder than it was and I wished that I had brought a blanket. From then on I had a restless night constantly waking up till I finally dragged myself out of bed at 4:30 and got ready for the day.

7/8/2019 This morning I was part of the cooking crew and we made pancakes with chocolate chips, then headed out to potato hill. On the way we saw a black bear in the middle of the road, it looked right at us before running away, I felt excited as it was the first bear that I had seen yet. The base of potato hill was very grassy and full of different flowers, Jessica warned us about the mosquitoes but they weren’t that bad. I am not an active person so the hike up potato hill was a real challenge but I made it to a spot where I didn’t feel bad that I did not make it to the top. Actually I was surprised by how far I walked up the hill as when I looked back down the cars looked so small in the distance. I was mad at myself however that the path I took ended up being the hard way. When ground water drains down the mountain it creates a path down the steepest slope and erodes away the surface so there is a clear path of dirt. This was the path that I took but this was the hardest path a...

7/10/2019 We went to the fire management area and met with Brad D. and Bob S. Brad over viewed the different levels in AFMO – fields, linguistics, and operations, they each have their part to do in their department. There are over 100 workers and in the summertime another 100+ volunteers. They have a 20 strong Hotshot crew that go all over the U.S. and into Canada, they are currently in Alaska. The fire management work with 9 different tribes on projects in the forest. Bob explained that the workers start at 8 with an hour of PT, though when they know that they are going out they will skip PT so that they are not exhausted. Their longest shift lasted about 46 hours in one of the worst fires they have seen in 1996. We asked about how they can tell how fires are started as they are mostly started by lighting. They explained that after they determine the area that the fire had started they close it off then bring in trained investigators to look over the area. They will look at the gr...

7/13/2019 We got to sleep in till 8 and then for breakfast we made eggs, hash browns, bacon, leftover oatmeal, breakfast burritos, and had hot chocolate with whip cream, it was quit the spread. Then we set up our trail cameras. We set one up in a meadow that we saw animal trails lead to, our second camera we set by the river so that it can capture the right side of the bank which had less vegetation so animals have an easier time getting to the river. The third camera we hiked up a road that said lead to the swamp but on the trail we found a half-eaten chipmunk and set the camera facing towards it in hope whatever ate it will come back. We returned to camp and wrote some more on our blog then at around 4 we left to lava lake campground and went swimming. The water was not to cold or too warm but really refreshing and had a spectacular view of the mountains. I had my water shoes on which I was thankful for as when you got to a certain point the ground turned mushy when you walked on...
