Growing up in a dry land-locked state, I never experienced a lot of water around. Even Colorado, being land-locked has more water than my native state of New Mexico. And being colder, the lakes are generally frozen in the Winter.
I came across the freeze effects of the Boulder reservoir on Christmas day while riding. Not only were their odd sounds echoing on the ice due to cracks. There was this frozen wave of ice pushing outward.
I was so fascinated, I didn't know what to do. My hands were so cold, I could hardly shoot. I plan to get out again.
