Hike around the river


Blog 8
Sunday- July 14
Today we are heading to take David back home, but first a little hike at the old mill district park. We arrived there at around 9:00 am and there was a river that cut in between the hiking trail. My friend Maria and I were taking our time and enjoying the view of the river, there were hikers running a marathon and we were caught in between the runners. I started with a sweater and by then end of the little hike I ended in a t-shirt, I could not wait to take a shower. We were on our way to Joy's house and people are saying were going to have hamburgers for

All about Logging

Blog 6 Thursday- July 11 Today we woke up at the fire station and I had the best night sleep I had in a while. Alex and I packed up all our bags and everyone loaded up the van to head out. Before we headed out we met in the fire station with Brad Donahue and he talked about the warm spring Indian reservation. They hire over 200 people during the peak season of firefighting, prescribed fires are another topic we covered. Prescribed fires are big projects here at warm springs and we are going to take a tour to see what the necessary steps are to prescribe a fire. Brad goes on to say they manage over 664,000 acres of land on the reservation, they have a twenty person hot shot crew and they travel to Alaska to fight fires in the summer for a couple months at a time. We discussed about some of the things that can affect the fire season and wind was a big topic. The other topics were climate change, it can affect fuels, temperature, weather, and time of year can all affect the fi...

Upper Klamath Wildlife Refuge

7/17/19 Today I woke up around 7 am, today is the day we take a tour of the Klamath River. But first we meet at their research station just a 20 minute drive away. There we met Alex Gonyaw, he goes more into detail about the Klamath River basin. 1820 was the first contact of the native people, there are three tribes of the river basin the Modoc, the Klamath, and the Yahooskin. In 1864 the Klamath boundary was reduced by over 40% of the original size, He talked about the fish   in the lake and how they age them, the fish are almost like trees with counting their rings   you can age some of them by counting the amount of lines on their scales. Two of the fish in the upper Klamath and Lower Klamath are listed in the endangered species act, the people at research station believe they are listed because they are an endemic species and it is easier for this species to be affected because it is only found in one spot. There are 33 species found in the upper Klamath wildlife re...

Arrival and Base Camp

Blog 1 07/06/19 Today is the first day of the camping trip and I am unsure of what to expect, I feel like it will be an amazing growing experience. When I first learned about the camp and the time we are going to spend it was two weeks I didn’t understand why it was that long, then last night Jessica was explaining it was for the people who go on the trip to disconnect from the rush at home and I agree. With one week of camping relating to my last camping trip I wanted to go home after one week, maybe with two weeks of camping it will feel like a new experience. A refresher in a busy schedule is important and I believe this will be the break I need from work and home. At campfire Don told some interesting stories about when he was younger and how much times have changed, he talked about the land and how the generation before taught him about how the ecosystem works   and I was thinking how this relates to what I learned at heritage. The topic we learned in class is cal...
