Cool Clear Water!
We took a road trip to gather...water. Moms Naturalistic Doctor gets his water directly from Mother Nature. So we headed down the road to see what all the fuss was about.
It was a beautiful drive along the Seward Highway to mile 109.
When we got there other folks had the same idea. I was told sometimes the line is thirteen people long! A couple there said they use it for all there canning.
The water was coming right out of the rocky mountain. It was ice cold and delicious!!!
We filedl up our jugs and headed out to explore the area afterwards.
We stopped at Beluga Point and hiked around a bit. No Belugas spotted today but it was still fun to run around.
The tide was in and it covered up most of that silty mud.
Mom was enjoying all the wild flowers.
I was looking for sticks. Gotta have sticks here for mama to throw!
We found our way down to the waters edge.
And I had my first experience with salt water and waves! I bit those salty waves and played in the mud. It was really cool! Mama said I was on my own and she didn't want to get all muddy. I brought some back for her to check out and deposited it all over her pants. How could she not love mud?
We stopped again on the drive home when we spotted some waterfalls along the highway.
So when our 14 gallons of water is gone we get to do this all again....drink up!!!!

They should have a snow-cone eating challenge in the Pet Olympics! I will compete in the Frisbee and stick competitions for sure. Not sure what other events I will participate in yet, too many good choices!

Ryker you look so tiny on that beach, and the mountains look sooo big. Would like to have a taste of that water, Gran and Granpops water comes from the hill they live on, its tastes very soft,if you know what I mean ;)
ReplyDeleteThe Olympic's sure is going to be the biggest event in blogland we have some we will be doing, I think there is over 34!! to enter
Have a good week
See Yea George xxx
Ryker dude, your killin me. Is the seward highway also called turn again arm? IS that beach the one with the scary mud that catches you and sucks you in so you can't get out, then the tide comes in and you drown, I can't believe you are right there where My Vickie wants to be so bad. More pictures please....we may not get to be there but we are having a great time living thru your adventures......
ReplyDeleteYes! That is Turnagain Arm, but not that beach! I actually drove by when the EMS and firemen were trying to extricate a woman tourist from the mud about 30 years ago. She did not make it...it was horrible.
DeleteI will post more photos of Alaska soon. Your photos and wildlife shots are wonderful. You also live in an amazing location.
PS. Jumping, remember the jumping category in the Olympics.
ReplyDeleteWell, I can jump, but it is usually for a toy of some kind...does that count?
DeleteRYKER....
ReplyDeleteWow!! Retrieving water from nature!! Now that is a neat and resourceful idea!! I am feeling thirsty now!! ;op
Love, Raelyn.... And Rose, my BEAUTIFULLY UNIQUE "Mystery Dog"!!
Beautiful pictures! And I'm intrigued at the idea of getting water right from the source.
ReplyDeleteHi Ryker! Thanks for stopping by my blog today. You should definitely enter the Frisbee contest! You can send pictures to mrpippip(at)gmail(dot)com.
ReplyDeleteThese pictures are so incredibly BEAUTIFUL! My assistant has always wanted to see whales (no whales where we live) so definitely post pictures if you go back to Beluga Point and see whales.
Your pal, Pip
Holy Dog do you live in a wonderful place!! I would love to go there. Actually it is the only thing on my MOM's "bucket list" to go to Alaska. She has it all planned out in her head. I am sending you my addy so you can send me you STICK picture. I can't wait for the event.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Goose

You live in a very beautiful place, Ryker. Alaska is one of my dream destinations and I really hope I can visit this beautiful place one day, not in winter although I love the snow scene. I don't think I can survive well if I jump into your winter suddenly from my tropical country : )
ReplyDeleteSo pretty. Wouldn't mind having a bit of that water
ReplyDeleteBenny & Lily
Beautiful scenery as always:)
ReplyDeleteWell that's just too cool gettin your water from a drinking pipe stuck into the mountain. Makes me thirsty seein all that delish fresh water. Lucky you! Those waterfalls you found are gorgeous. Gave me super big smileys :D Thanks!
