There ya go! I would go every weekend if I could too (: you know, I checked Wiki, and all it said was that the reason why it's so clear, is because of the lakes formation. It was once filled with a glacier in this last ice age, and that because of the environmental laws what with it being a state park, it's remained in a pristine state. I wonder what it tastes like...

Hmm! That's good to know it's just a hop skip and a jump away! I bet I would feel right at home up there, anywhere in Canada really. I've especially wanted to explore the Yukon River, but I know that that area of Canada isn't anywhere near as populated in comparison to the eastern coast. 

Yes, I wouldn't be one of the first to go out there, as I'm sure that some crazy bogus accident would happen, and I would die out there >.> 

I always figured that Venus, in retrospect being similar to Earth in size, albeit slightly smaller, could have held life at one point, but the expansion of the sun caused the planet to overheat. As for Mars, I know that they've found traces of ancient river beds on the planet. It makes me wonder, if our ancestors (I'm a huge ancient alien believer) possibly migrated from Mars, the only problem is, I don't know the life conditions on Mars at that point in time. I definitely believe that we humans were dropped off here on Earth as a way to continue our species.

Do you see how big some of those fossils are?! There are some the size of a kitchen table >.> those babies would've eaten us up in a heart beat. But it's curious to think that our modern day squid/octopus come from the ammonites. Is it all shiny and multi-color? Your piece of ammolite that is? 

Oh yes, elevation plays a huge key factor in all of that. That's probably why you get more rain, you're at a lower elevation, and farther away from the sun, whereas I'm close to the equator. But as my boyfriend tells me, New Mexico used to be a series of active volcanoes and an ocean at one point in time. In fact, if I look west, there are three extinct volcanoes here in the area.

Yeah you keep patting that cactus, one day it's gonna bite >.>' that's the kind I fell in too! Tiny ass spikey things!
