Today we had to wake up at 7:30 am, and after a long night bonding at the fire, it was a little tough to get moving. We had pancakes and eggs for brrakfast and it was delicious. Two of the workers from Deschutes National Forsest met us at our camp and lead us to the Blue Lagoon Trailhead for trail cleanup day. We put on our hard hats and gloves, grabbed some tools and set to work. My group started by putting up a new sign at the beginning of the trail head. We had to dig holes, place the sign, and paint it. After that we headed up the trail and started clearing out trees and shrubs that were covering the trail. The trail itself is only about a mile long and wit leads to a beautiful lake called "Blue Lagoon". We had lunch there and later were able to go swimming there. It wad wonderful being able to swim in such a beautif place and I will definitely try to come back. Now I'm at the fire fighter station doing my laundry, of which there is a lot. Tomorrow we are heading to Wallowa and I'm excited to see what's next in store for this traveling band of budding scientists.
