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 10

7/16/18                 Today, we got to walk around different places, where George showed us the places that would be either burned or logged down, as he talked about the prescribed fires and wildfires. I thought it was interesting when I heard about what he did, which made sense, as it was so the trees could grow back better, and they wouldn’t be fighting each other for resources. It was pretty how when we were listening to him, but I forgot about the heat when something that looked like a small bee but was apparently a fly, flew onto my hand. I tried blowing him off, but it immediately flew back to my hand and started moving around. My interest grew as I blew him away probably like 10 more times, and he still acme back to me, to which I admit, I actually grew quite fond of him. When it was time for him to leave, I felt like a part of me was missing, but I decided not to dwell on it. I will miss the bee-loo...

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 ...

Day 14

7/20/18                 Today after we ate breakfast, Priscilla, Amelia, Caleb, and I started skipping rocks on the river next to our campsite, when all of a sudden we started throwing big rocks at each other, or at least at the water when we were next to it. So no, we didn’t really throw rocks at each other, no matter how much fun it would have been. I’m still not sure how the rock/water war started, even though some said it was me which makes a little sense, but it was pretty fun. And I won. Obviously.                 We later met Clinton Desautal, a firefighter, who obviously loved what he did as he said that it’s a good job because there’s always new stuff to learn, even if he has been doing it for eighteen years. He also said something that I could relate to, which was about how he was also a broke college student who survived off of Top R...
