Day #82
Today we took a drive, north of Prince George BC, to a rock quarry;gravel pit. We were on a hunt for gravel and flat rocks for our pond in our own yard.
This quarry, if you could imagine, that there were heavy machines working in the pit, driving around with dump trucks loaded with crushed gravel...and then the pit filled with water.
What I found amazing was that mother nature is taking back the quarry, plants are growing, trees of all kinds, wild flowers, wild strawberries are also growing.
Birds are swooping down and eating the bugs that are on the water, and the most exciting part is .... there are fish in the water! Watching the fish jump and rise to the surface was so exciting!
Humans have also found this place! Not only did they find this rock quarry a place to cool off but people have left their mark, and they also forgot to bring home the air mattress and empties.
I would like to see this place in 5 years time... if only we humans would leave only our foot prints.
We collected $5.85 worth of empty bottles and tins. Those are what we could safely reach. I can't imagine what is in the bottom of this quarry?
Thank you for taking a look!
See you tomorrow.
