Monday - Went to Snake River to do the last survey. Did the bug counting and grouping in the afternoon (which is tiring actually).
Tuesday - Did the final project writeup. A very frustrating experience indeed, had to stay in the computer lab for the whole afternoon and the most of the morning, trying hard to produce some logical explanation and hypothesis for the questions on River Continuum Concept.
Wednesday - Had a quiz at about 8.30am. Left Camp Davis at about 11 for the Yellowstone National Park. Attractions visited: The Old Faithful (yes, it's very faithful, erupts about every 90 minutes), a number of other geysers like the Castle Geyser, and Grand Prismatic Spring. Camp in at Madison. Had some burgers and dogs for dinner.

Thursday - Visited the Obsidian cliff before going for a 9-mile hike to see the Osprey falls. The 150-feet-tall falls was worth all the trouble going through the not so pleasant trail. Proceeded to the Mammoth Hot springs after the hike. Took a break, and went to the "Grand Canyon of Yellowstone", where we had a majestic view of the park's tallest fall - the Lower Falls of Yellowstone River. Camped near the Canyon Village.

Friday - Left Yellowstone in the morning. Had lunch in Jackson Hole town. Tom, our professor, was kind enough to pay for the bill (Thanks!). Went back Camp Davis, did some van cleaning, and chill for the rest of day.
Saturday - Monday - On our way back to Ann Arbor!!
