Day 5 

Today we got up and met with joe Elkins and Jason fisher they were trails program and recreational development we worked on the blue lagoon trail which is about a mile long we had to cut trees and make the trail larger so that people can walk through better  we made the trail about 5 feet wide this will help the trail in the future because it will prevent overgrowth and it will provide other nutrient cue to the other trees that were trying to grow . We went swimming in the blue lagoon for about  an hour  and ate lunch we prepared our own lunch ,A group of people that I was Involved with went to the camp sites where people built there own fire pits and we took the frames out and made it look like there was never a fire there .
