So
today we took a nature hike and spotted a lot of Bison. It was like Bison
country!!! There were Bison everywhere! It was really cool to hear the sounds
that they make. Corey said the Bison sound like pigs on steroids LOL! We also
saw a lot of Elk, a hawk and three chipmunks that we all agreed were named
Alvin, Simon and Theodore. We also played the position of Rancher, Consumer and
Environmentalist and had a debate about Bison being able to roam free. My team
and I were the Consumer and we came up with the conclusion that if the National
Park Association does not do anything to control the population of disease
infected Bison then the death of cattle will ultimately be the fault of the NPA
and we feel as though the NPA should collaborate with the ranchers in coming up
with a solution. When we got back to our cabins we did a team building exercise
where we all formed a circle, held hands as we wiggled and squirmed trying to
fit our bodies through a lasso of rope without breaking our human chain that we
had formed. It taught us how to work together it was a lot of fun. Lastly we
visited an awesome photographer named Tom Murphy. OMG his photography was
breath taking!!! He spends hours, days
and weeks camping out in the middle of the wilderness capturing nature and wild
life in its natural habitat. A lot of the pictures are really cool because you
wouldn’t expect some of the animals to pose the way they do, naturally. He has
an image of a bear posing in a yoga stance, an eagle with a bad hair day and
another bird sporting a Mohawk.
