packing/day one

I packed last minute, wasn't sure what I was forgetting. I knew I would find out once we got to camp to set up camp and when I would unpack. I found out I had forgotten a lot of the things I planned on bringing. Day one came around and got to campus around 9 am, then we all had to introduce ourselves that was doing People of the Big River. Me and my 6 classmates had got lecture from Corbin on micro biology. Discussing that there is good and bad bacteria. packed up everything and made our way to glenwood. Set everything up at camp ate dinner and cleaned up. Me and my two friends sat at the fire for awhile before going to lay down.

day two

 Day 2: Slept pretty good, I woke up easily. The first night I kept warm and cozy. I was a little nervous thinking I was going to be super cold but it was just right. We woke up, ate breakfast, and cleaned up. Packed our school stuff and shower stuff. hiked back towards king mountain area, looked at the different trees which was douglas/red fir and pine. then went to do our water samples. Got to do the dissolved oxygen, water temperature, PH, and depths. Now came to get wifi, shower up, and hopefully get things I had forgotten.
