Day 10 getting there

Yesterday we went fish shocking it was pretty fun and it was a shocking time with the DNR interns and officials. We met our Fish Shocking expert I don't remember his name because we couldn't take our notebook's in the water because they might have gotten wet. When we did this task to get the hang of it I kind of was like I don't know if I wanna but after getting to use the shocker backpack to stun the fish it was pretty fun. We got to \catch some big fish and some pretty small fish but it was fun. Even though the waders I was wearing ended up getting water in them I actually got a little shock from the pack when Mrs.Morse had the pack but it didn't hurt so bad. After we went fish shocking we came to the Wellpinit school to listen to a speaker from the reservation. After we listened to our speaker we went to a place called Anderson which is a farm outside of Wellpinit used to feed wildlife like Elk, Deer, and Moose. After talking to some of the workers like Savannah Walker, And Dawa Nunkena we had the DNR interns take us to a swimming spot to swim in  lake where they had a no diving sign but we dove into the water anyway because it was pretty deep we couldn't feel the bottom nor could we make it to the bottom to the floor. After we were done swimming we decided to sketch one more time for George Hill the native artist.George brought some of his art work over by our campsite last night and we got to see some of his work like his buffalo dancing stick, his painting he called big horn summer, and his sculpture he is still working on. Our great host Warren brought over salmon last night and Alyssa prepared it and it was pretty good salmon we had and we had some burgers with it and that was a pretty good dinner we had. After we had dinner we went with warren to a pit house and talked he is by far the greatest host I have had then prival
