Day Two

 

Rise shine , sun shine , well today we woke up bright and early , which in I am not use to !! we had breakfast and made our lunch then we head out !! we met up with some guy from Warm springs fisheries and wildlife , there names were Austin Smith from wildlife and Jason Grant from fisheries. they had showed us there projects that they were working on, which are restoration in two creeks call mill creek and shitike by Jason Grant, and Austin was working on why there are decrease of mule deer!! the day had started out hot but there were cloud to give us some shade, it was very educational day. I learn what it takes to restore a creek, but I still don't know everything to it! although the big question was why was there a decrease with mule deer?? I think that was very interesting on the neck harness (tags) on the deer to find them later !! after most of the day with them we returned to the longhouse for the evening and had  chili dogs  for dinner!!
