My Reflection
There has been a lot of things I learned. For example there is so many ways you can tell the difference between a wolf and a coyote. He also gave us a lot of hints on the problems we might have during the walk. Richard was very helpful for our simulation. He is giving us big hints and we have taken some important notes that might change what happens on the walk. There is many problems like wolves and coyotes. They could be are predators. There is also many other predators like mountain lions. They could attack our cattle that is very, very, very important! I also learned that wolves and coyote's will annoy us to get what they want. That could be a big problem on the trip. There is also some dangerous birds. That could be a problem. The animals that we see could have a disease! There will be bears, eagles, and birds that will annoy us. The flour can get bugs in it too! It looks like there are many problems, but it matters which ones we face.
