Before Redoubt erupted, Pat took me on a date to the beach! It was a gorgeous evening! Yes, it looks like the middle of the day, but it was about 5:30pm. We parked and had a 1/4 mile walk down to the beach. The sky was clear and the mountains were perfect.
When we got down there, we found the ice was pushed up on the beach. We scouted a place to climb down to beach level. The dogs were a little wary of that drop!
Ice caves are fun!
The dogs loved running around and playing on the beach! I think they would have loved it if they would have discovered any other critters out there!
Rowdy seemed interested in the water, so Pat threw a chunk of ice out there to see if he'd retrieve it. Poor dog! He tried to figure out how to do it, but it just didn't work. He seemed just fine in the water, even though it would put us into hypothermia in seconds! Somehow we never looked across to Redoubt, but the big mountain on the right that goes out of the picture is another volcano, Mt. Spur. I think it is much more impressive, and I laugh when people think it is Mt. McKinley. I don't tell them anything, as I'd rather they believe they've seen the "Big One!"
Yesterday, Pat came home and had a little surprise for me! He hid out in his new shop and in support of my March Madness Addiction, he brought in this fabulous gift! I love it! For a guy who really couldn't care less about it, he sure is sweet in supporting my interests!

WOW whbat a great post! I know alot of people that would love one of those hawks. How cool is that! Thanks for sharing--can't WAIT to come up again!
Cool, Pat!
Wow, your beach looks totally different than the beaches in San Diego. It looks so cool with the snow, bet there weren't too many people laying out getting a tan!
Saw a comment you made on the LPM blog!! We should forward the site to Lesli, she'd probably enjoy it too. I am doing my best with the memorizations, but it really is HARD. My girls are much better at it.
Go hawks!
More importantly, what a fun date! Hey, we are getting snow/ice right now!
Hey there! Is that a Jayhawk?! I have a friend that would LOVE that! Sorry for you and my friend that they lost last night. But we're from MI and were routin for MSU. :) I noticed you in my "followers" and thought I'd come say hello.
