Birds Creek review

 

Birds Creek review

By far my favorite campsite, I do miss running water, electricity, and the ability to reach out to girlfriend (sorry I just really miss her the longer I’m away on this trip) but the grounds here were phenomenal. We finally got to do some real camping; we’re in the middle of the woods with no service.

Atmosphere/vibe

I love the trees here I really feel so at peace here. The running water and the trees’ cool shade on these warm summer days feel so nice and it really reminds me of the simplicity of things. Theres so many cool things to see here from the stream, the trees, animal tracks/droppings (I just think it’s cool that they were here), and some interesting structures across the stream from us that still kind of spook me but they were cool to see.

Wildlife

Unfortunately, there is not as much wildlife as id want to see out here, I saw ting fish in the stream while soaking my hair one morning and I saw a deer at camp the day we left to Mount Adams. I found a half-eaten bird and the animal bones so that tells me we definitely have a large predator around that has to be agile enough to catch it, and it was a big bird carcass so the birds out here are definitely big enough to catch fish also confirming that there must be more fish nearby.

Tranquility

Maybe this place wasn’t for everyone, I saw some embrace it more than others, but I know for a fact that me, Gavin, Lovey, and even Judy to an extent were all embracing the new area. We all kind of found places that resonated with us and would frequently visit. I saved this place’s gps location and will be revisiting this location hopefully next month if not for a weekend while it’s still warm with some friends or loved ones.

I will miss this campsite as it was by far my favorite, and I will definitely be returning soon.

Day 13 (One last stop)

Image
 Day 13 Wake up today was at 7:30, completely different from the last 12 days. My body was so used to the morning routine that I was up at 5:30, I woke up and took a walk around camp for a little and made a phone call back home. After draining my entire phone battery making a phone call I went back to camp with another 40 minutes before wake-up calls, so I started organizing my luggage, so I had less to do tonight and tomorrow. Over the next 40 minutes I heard everyone waking up before Jessica could even get to us. I prepped my lunch after food was brought out and then swapped places with Gavin who was still cutting melon and honey dew for breakfast and later. I let him make his lunch and eat breakfast while I drank my coffee and cut the rest of the melon. Today is rumored to be a relaxing tourist day, nothing too labor inducing. We cleared out the SUV’s for a clean up after our tour. And even still we were really good on time. This is the first time we got to sleep in and head...

Day 1(PTBR begins)

 Day 1(end) We arrived at Heritage University at 10 am and started with a quick roll call of who was here. We signed some paperwork, did a survey on our basic knowledge of environmental science and microbiology along with why this field interests us. After that we went began to do our inventory for the trip, which went pretty well we had extra gear that came in handy later. we were all set to go until we found out one of our cars had battery issues (car b), so we got delayed a little. I used the time to read a little and enjoy the sun. When car b finally arrived, we divvied up the luggage between the two cars and were ready to hit the road when we realized one of car b's doors didn't work (literally fell of the hinge). Got that reported in and then hit the road. The drive was 3 hours long, I road in Juan's car (car a) and I listen to music while playing Pokémon on my ds. Along the drive we saw lots of smoke and a big fire along the way, and hearing from friends at home I he...

Day 1 blog (Heritage University)

 Day 1.  leading up to this trip I packed everything I needed a week prior to leaving the house and even then, I ended up switching things in and out of my luggage. decided this was more important than that clothing wise, I made sure to pack some entertainment such as a book/manga for some me time, packed some uno cards and some Totoro poker cards so that I can play with some of my colleagues (and I was hoping to see who likes studio Ghibli off the cards I brought). I was up and ready to go by 8am as I did not want to be late and have the class waiting for me, so I kind of rushed my dad to bring me over and we made it just on time, but because of my rushing I forgot my laptop charger as i was using it just before I left 😭. luckily for me my brother-in-law was awesome enough to bring it to me while we were still doing inventory... it would've sucked not having it. Having my laptop but not being able to use it, talk about responsible. I am very excited for this trip, and I can'...
