While this is a picture taken in Denali National Park in Alaska, Mount McKinley was covered in clouds, so we never got to see it.
I’m probably coming up next week to fill feeders, and I guess you could say I trained for it yesterday. I bought some liquid fertilizer a couple years ago in 5 gallon jugs, and the 20 jugs always seem to be in the way. I have an empty 250 gallon bulk tank, so I got the bright idea to dump the fertilizer into it. The problem is the tank in on a stand, so I had to climb up a short ladder to reach the fill hole. I’m in fairly decent shape for 55, but after lifting 17 jugs over my head to dump them, I was pretty well spent. After telling myself to suck it up buttercup, I got the last three in the tank. I really didn’t feel too bad when I went to bed, but when I got up to pee about 3, I almost couldn’t get out of bed. On the walk to the bathroom, there were joints popping and cracking so loud I thought it would wake up my wife. I guess I got everything limbered back up in the night, because it’s not too bad this morning.
On a positive note, I should be ready to lift 36 fifty pound sacks of all stock above my head to fill my protein feeders.

Dang, Man. I wouldn't have liked doing any of that, even in my younger years.
This is called the "Agate Bridge," which is actually a petrified tree at Petrified Forest National Park in Arizona. To help preserve the tree itself, they went in and formed a concrete beam under it.

I still think I can do crap that gave me no issues in the past --- and I'm dead wrong! I guess that the aches, pains, pops, creaks, and general malaise are nature's way of saying, "stop doing that crap!"
Buddies bellying up to the bar...
...but to be honest, just about every critter, including deer, would stop by and drink the water from the birdbath.

Yep.....about 50yds behind my house in the woods I leave a faucet dripping into a shallow pan.....in these dry times you can't believe how many and variety of critters come for a drink all day and night. I keep a trail camera on it for amusement.Buddies bellying up to the bar...

Along the Alpine Loop drive in Colorado.
Alpine loop is awesome we stay there most of the summer.
I don't keep a cam on our birdfeeder in the backyard that contains about 5 gallons of water. Wife made me add a 2 gallon container at the base for the fawns that can't reach the big bird bath. The stupid turkey tip the 2 gallon container over every day before flying up to the big bath. I have to fill it every two days.
