we discovered a gravel-pit-turned-lake five
May 31, 2003
we discovered a gravel-pit-turned-lake five minutes from my apartment that is apparently dedicated to fully-cothed males, bikini-clad females, and oodles of jet skis.
today we took the dogs and some towels there to wade and perhaps swim. swimming was out of the question due to the incredible muckity-muck that tried to invade ever crevice possible.
the dog had never seen water in any setting other than [i] the water dish, [ii] the bathtub, or [iii] small puddles. she decided swimming was no fun even though i tried convincing her otherwise.
and when i say convincing, i mean dragging her in by her leash.
she didnt really enjoy that part.

is it cold swimming in alaska this time of year?
its usually cold swimming in alaska. but right now its warmer than, say, middle of january when everything is frozen. lakes and rivers are slightly warmer than the ocean which is always around 55°F.
recommended only for the brave of heart.
