Photo of the day

I had a nosey moose checking out my skis the other day. As soon as he saw me on the porch he made a bee line towards me.

Moose usually mind their own business when they're in your yard, but I had a hunch someone was feeding this one. This was confirmed when my neighbor said he fed him apples. This is rare because it is illegal to feed wildlife in AK.

First outing of 2026. Should been doing other things but when it's in the high 70's F in March, sometimes you just gotta hit the water. Ice went maybe a couple weeks back but the weather and my schedule haven't coincided til now.

First paddle of the season with my son. Stopped dead in our wake in contemplation of this engineering marvel.

Now that’s a fancy bridge. Hahaha. Was it a rope bridge?

 

[mwaalen]

Not quite as stable as a rope bridge. Instead, 3 layers of untreatead plywood for the decking & reclaimed roller coaster supports from 1927. Maybe it's an art installation, uncertain.

Chinook River, Washington

This is the outflow of the fifth largest spring in the world, the beginning of the River Sorgue, somewhat downstream from the source. I was supposed to go canoeing here. Unfortunately, I am here for three days but the canoe rental places do not open for another 10 days. I am staying literally right here on the banks of the river. The limestone walls were built because each spring, the spring pulses into flood for about five weeks. Apparently no one know why it does that.

Too bad on the timing.

My grandson Cooper with a “shed” he found here in Maine last year. No matter what the conditions, shed hunting is a family affair for my daughter’s family.
