day 5

 good morning we had our breakfast and did a little lab which is called bacteria separation. we picked from one of the sides of the bio paddle mainly want to pick the side that has growth. and these samples came from the creeks we have been to previously.The bio paddle had a red indication which means there is growth which means there was exposure to  coliform and fecal matter in the water. the lab is done now we are heading out to the lava lands i have never heard of this place so i'm excited heard we are get to explore a cave. we are here getting a briefing about the cave and the nots and dos in the cave. we are walking down into the cave and immediately can feel how cold it will be in the cave. Sophia who had been working for americorp as a conservation educator for about year will be out VIP tour guide shes telling us it stays a whopping 42 degrees year round. the cave is 2 miles in total one mile in one mile out was a nice walk and experience to be apart of. After this we are gonna eat lunch and head up to the lava butte its a beautiful spot you can see for miles across the land and its also a firewatch station and i can see why endless views up here.
