Adventuring we will go.......

We headed off on another adventure today - to a place called Mammoth Springs. It is the 10th largest natural spring in the USA and pumps out a staggering 8 million gallons of water an hour! There is a pawsome park surrounding it and we went on a picnic there.  The overflow area was very loud but we were both brave boys and walked across the top of it - even the Dweeb!













There use to be a railway station here too (well it is still there but it is now a museum) but it made the Mom smile to see this beautiful restored caboose car. There is also 3 parts to the lake which flow down to make the Spring River and guess what we saw - a BEAVER! He was splashing around and having fun. We took some photos but it was way off in the distance and you can't really see it. We had a pawsome day - except for the part where Dweeb threw up on the back seat!

  5. Isn't the word "Caboose" such a fun word to say? This one is a real beauty.

    Beavers are so cool!

    Hope Denny is feeling better.

  7. Good for Denny walking over that big dam. Maybe Mr. Beaver thinks the area needs another one and he was busy working on it.

    You always find the best places to go for your walks.

  8. poor Denny, so brave on the walk and then sick in the car.

    That caboose looks great, but we don't think there should be a fence around it. You should have been able to go inside.

  18. Oh Dweeb...I mean Denny....you just saved up all that fear till you got back to the safe car didn't you. I'm sure Reilly comforted you. And Mom too. Sure was a pretty park though!
