day 13

On day 13 we all had gotten up in the morning and we started to eat breakfast we all had Pancakes, Scrambled Eggs, Sausage, and potatoes. When we all had gotten done with breakfast we had started to clean up and we headed out down to the beach area where we met up with Jennifer and she had talked to us about the lake and the rivers that had connected to it. Then she gave us a little map and we all got to put the little flags where we thought where the locations were. While we were waiting for Angelo she had talked more about the lake and the other rivers that were going into the lake. When Angelo had gotten to the area he had told that if we followed him we would go to the beaver dams. So we all got into the vans and we had followed Angelo to the first beaver dams sight and we had gotten on weighters to be able to walk through the swampy areas without getting our clothes wet and so we had gotten on weighters and we left to go the first dam. After the first dam we had gotten in the vans and we went to the next dam sight but before going to see it we had grilled cheese sandwiches. After lunch we all had went into thee dams and we went to a sight where the water was deep and Angelo asked sully to see how how deep it was and so I had tagged along and sully and I had dove in. the water was only about 4 and a half feet deep. After we had did that we all had gotten to go over and build a dam of our own, and the nominated leaders of the group was Chrissy and Al so they had told us the game plan on how we were going to build the dam. When we came up with the plan we all sorted out who did what I was in the job of finding big rocks in the water. But in the water all the big rocks were in the ground deep so it took a lot of work to try and get the rocks out of the ground. After we had gotten done with the dams we had the judges tell us what their opinions were and so far what Angelo had said was that we did good and that was all some of the things that a beaver would look for in a dam and would a comforting look into adopting the dam for themselves. When we got done with the judges we had gotten in our vans and had left to back to the wellness center to shower unless some of the people wanted to smell like beaver scat. After we showered we did our blogs and then sully and I wanted to go into the weight room but we had taken too long on our blogs and we hadn’t been able to go to the weight room.

                After blogging we loaded back up in the vans and started making our way back to camp we had sloppy joes and then we got to go to bed with full stomachs.
