Being in water makes me feel happy, healthy
and alive. It’s a feeling that is hard to de-
scribe. I go to the McKenzie River often for
work. When there, I feel strong connection
to this earth and get a natural high from
this incredible river.
Frozen water and melted water enhance
our lives immensely. Many people can’t
live without playing in water or just
being near it. These people who are
in the water and are in the mountains
know how important water is and
how delicate our natural environ-
ment is. Water is the key to all life
on this planet. There are many
things in our lives we can’t con-
trol, but our personal water use,
our personal footprint, is some-
thing that can be controlled on
a daily basis. Without getting
too preachy, water is damn
fun, and I want it to be fun for
someone 10,000 years from
now.
