Day 5-6

Day 5: We were put to work. We awoke early and we were lead to a trail where we were to restore the trail. Wow. First thing first, protection! We had hard hats that were provided for us and we had to wear. (: My first tool was a shovel where I and others had to dig water trenches which would help water travel away from the trail. Then I had an axe to go crazy on roots. Ha it was an excellent way to vent some anger. Frustration from being stuck with people all day or people who just get you angry. Jessica Black and some nice swings in there she vented her anger for long hours of blogging (: Aside from that I then had a hand saw where I got down on my knees and used a lot of my power to saw the trees that were close to the trail away. It was a lot of hard work but it was awesome to know we were restoring a beautiful trail and many other people beside us will enjoy the path later on. After a long hard morning of work, we hiked to Blue Lagoon where we had the privilege to swim!

  First, we had to change in the wilderness. That wasn't to fun, we were exposing ourselves to the poor ol' nature ha, but it was all we could do. The water was freezing. Yet, it was so beautiful and it was nice to swim after working and being in thew hot sun! After we got right back to work though.

Day 6: Left camp by 8:10 am and started traveling towards Nez Perce Country. First we stopped at a gorgeous and fascinating place called Painted Hills though. Then we arrived at Nez Perce around 9:30 pm and after setting up camp we were able to watch the pow wow that was going on around here.
