Day 12

7/18/18
              This morning wasn't a very good morning for me because the dog that had been hanging around our camp was attacked by three other dogs. Some people named him Buster, I named him Will because it was a cooler name. Either way, I hope he’s okay because I saw a woman from another camp putting some ointment stuff on his wounds. I later saw him laying down and resting so hopefully he gets better. I didn't even say goodbye to him, but it's not a big deal, but I will miss sharing my chicken soup and sloppy joes with him.
              We then went to some RV park, where I could already feel the heat that would kill us as the vans started to park. I set up my tent as fast as I possibly could because although we were promised a trip to the store if we set up camp and ate dinner, I only did it really fast because I cannot be bought over and I’m a responsible person or whatever. There was no shade available because there wasn’t any trees around. But hey, at least we got some ice cream sandwiches and moved to a different campsite the next day. And I also got to sleep good because my tent was neither too hot or too cold but there was some wind that was making me go a little crazy, as it sounded like people were walking around my tent. I still slept really good though.

Day 15

7/21/18           Today was the last day of the trip, which meant no more sandwiches for lunch, I would be reunited with my bed, and I could eat all the fast food I wanted. But I mean, it's no big deal. I didn't even notice it was the last day til last week. I woke up before Jessica did her usual walk around the campsite, banging on the tents, screaming at us to wake up. She didn't really scream but everybody always seems to be screaming when you're waking up.           We then went to visit Grand Coulee Dam, where I heard an announcement on a speaker about a tour that would start soon, but I blanked it out because I also heard that the starting place was an entire eight minute walk away. We didn't do the tour, so I was saved from the walk, and I had already visited Grand Coulee Dam before, meaning that I still didn't know very much about it. It was pretty fun struggling to play a song about the dam on the marimba that was there, and I also had a flashback, wh

Day 13

7/19/18 This morning, we got to meet Lucy, who was a Traditional Cultural Preservation Officer. She was pretty cool because she was really nice and loved what she does. Lucy led us to the Okanagan Museum, which was small but it had some interesting stuff in there. One thing I really liked was a section about a writer named Mourning Dove, who told coyote stories. An interesting thing she said was, “Everything on the earth has a purpose, every disease an herb to cure it, and every person a mission.” I can’t explain why I liked what she said, but I just did. There was also an open book by Mourning Dove in a glass case so I only got to read one page.                 Something impossible happened today when we were eating our lunch. I was eating my second sandwich when all of a sudden, I no longer wanted to eat it. I wasn’t full and I was still hungry. I was pretty confused for a minute when I finally realized that I had lost my appetite. Interesting. This has never happened before,

7/17/18                 We got to go to the Kalispel Tribal Fish Hatchery today, and guess what we saw there. We saw some fish. I liked how Jason, the Fish Program Manager,  talked about how the fish that weren’t wild, were spawned there, then moved as they got older and bigger, and used for research experiments, such as trying to test out fish ladders. The fun part about that place was when Omar, Damaris, Jessica, and I decided to have a challenge, which included putting our hands into super cold water that had a lot of small fishes in it. Jessica quit first, then Omar also took his hands out, so the adults quit first, because Omar still likes to act all professional like an adult, which kind of bothers me a little bit, but he doesn’t know. I think. Anyways, it was about 6 minutes when we had to move to the next spot, so Damaris I were still competing. Jessica told us to take our hands out of the water because it was time to move on, but I pretended that I couldn’t hear, so I even
