Today we got to sleep in until 730 am. Felt kind of relieved we have a day where we're not on a tight schedule and rushing to get to the meet up spot.

started off the day as usual the breakfast group got breakfast and lunch supplies ready. Our group was in charge of clean up. After we got everything put away we started to gather our things. We gathered our notebooks, soil sample supplies, and our shower stuff. Once we had everything packed up we started the trip to go meet up with Marlo. We stopped and gassed up the vehicles.excited to see what we will learn today. Yesterday was in my experience the best day so far.we met Marlo at the meet up spot and she is leading us to the site we will be at for the day. Can't wait to see how this day goes.once we got to the site we were on the hunt for the pumus moonwort. And I must say it was pretty awesome to look for. Put my eyes to work lol on the way back I had to stop and look at something faraway so my eyes would stop hurting. After lunch we made our way to stop at a natural spring that is rare to see in this area. After we looked at that we made our way to the second site....
