We made it here! Yay! well on the first day we was making our way to Oregon we got to our camp site and set up camp and set our tents up and had dinner .We got there and it was raining, we had to set our tents up in the rain so the inside of the tent was wet, I’m also sharing a tent with one of my friends named Judy. It’s pretty cool to come back to this site again, I was also on this trip last year but there was firefighters in the area and it wasn’t so good. The trip took a while to get there but the drive on the way there was pretty.

We got to talk to speaker on fire and what we would have to do if there is a fire. There is a lot to think about when there is a fire, you would have to worry about how big the fire is and what the weather is like, should they let it just burn for a while or put it out?, what are they going to use to put it out. Are they going to need more help? What are they going to use to put it out and what is the fire putting at risk, like houses, animals, some kind of plant or tree. They have to worry about this all in very little time and it’s hard. We also learned about dead fuel like how many hours would it take for something to dry after it got wet

• 0 - quarter inch > 1 hour
• quarter inch -  1 inch > 10 hours
• 1 inch - 3 inch > 100 hours
• 3 inches - as big to a tree stump > 1000 hours 

We also learned when a tree needed to be cut down, there was a tree that was missing the top to it and it would need to be cut down because the top of it was missing, but if we had to cut down a tree it would depend on where it is .We also were told about the land, there is deer, elk, cougars, black bears, turkeys, we didn’t see any there but the waning was good to know. We did see a deer around the camp site today but it was chased off. We also we went to a BBQ and had some food there, before we went to eat we went to talk to a couple ladies about seed farm and there job is to take a seed out of a husk, there biggest season is in September they get 20 different kinds of seeds in there factory also they have 1500 different kinds of seed collection. I didn’t really have an interest in that area.
