HOME BOUND

July 30th, 2013

Well, today is the last day of our trip. I am more than ready to go home and see my friends and family. In the morning, we woke up many of us who slept outside were sleeping on deflated mattresses. The high schoolers had pulled a prank on us. They even moved the school vans (which scared one of the chaperons to death). After we ate breakfast, we needed to do an inventory on ALL of our gear. We had to turn in our headlamps, backpacks, water pouches, laundry bags, air mattresses, sleeping bags, and tents. Jayla and I were in charge of checking in everything. For some reason Jessica likes us working together haha. Once we finally left, we had to stop in Grand Coulee for gas, and everybody loaded up on snacks. After our pit stop, we headed to Dry Falls to see exactly how powerful the Missoula Flood was. We investigated the visitor center and watched the short film, and then some of the high school kids were finishing up their blogs. 

It felt like we were there forever...

We headed home and was heading onto the Yakima reservation before I knew it. (I slept the entire time, it felt like) Coming doing through Ellensburg I felt like I was home!
