Well I would have to say it was kind of fun. I don’t know much about what we seen or even where we were. I never did think that I would be sitting on the ground in a bog on a bunch of moss. I would have to say that was a first for me. And I’m sure there will be many times I will say that.
It was a very beautiful day to be out doors looking around at all the different things. I think that a lot of the plants and flowers we seen today was very beautiful I guess I never realized all the different things that was have living all around us.
The animal was a vole, a type of small rodent. Look it up :-)
ReplyDeleteYou do know where you were, you were at the Mineral Creek Bog, very slightly NW of Valdez!
If you open Google Earth to valdez & scroll west (left) until you see the west edge of town you will be at the entrance of Mineral Creek. You can then follow the creek a short distance beyond the bridge & see the Bog on the left hand side of the road.
