Day 1 xD

7/8/2023 OSU Geology Camp Mitchell, OR 8:23 PM Today was a nice first day. The drive here was cool, I enjoyed the difference in scenery.

We are going to Strawberry Lake, and it sounds interesting. The camp looks cute. It's a nice and neat set up they have here.                                                                         The bunny by our tents.
