Description The mudflats might look like a stable area. News flash, they aren't. Every year we lose people either because they are tourist and don't know any better, or they want to commit suicide. There have been rare few times that they have been able to pull people out. But more often then not the people are pulled in half instead.
My grandfather created a song for me when I was about 4, about the mudflats, it went like this:
"Dont go on the mudflats tonight Sylvia Darlin
for the mud is really thick
and if you walk in it youll sink
so dont go on the mudflats tonight."
NO STEALING THAT SONG OR I WILL COME AFTER YOU!

The shore kinda reminds me of my hiking trip up to Berg Lake 3 years ago. Beautiful shot!

lol. sorry The inlet is actually nigh penetrable with the eye because of all the glacial silt that is in it though it would be cool if it was clear

this was taken from a train that I was riding on as we were passing Turnagain Arm which is the water you see, in the Cook Inlet right outside of Anchorage Alaska.

How does that song go? Because any way I try to sing it, it's not very catchy.

diamondwhitewolf In reply to Omnywrench [2007-08-25 20:20:13 +0000 UTC]

... its not suppose to be catchy, it was a silly song my granfather created for me.

I personally recommend a slow new-age jazz beat.

Beautimus, yes. Dangerous, yes. But if you're missing just the right braincells, it's also a kick ass place to skim board. *Grinz*
I absolutely have to stop about 20 different places everytime I go to Kenai or Homer. Unfortunately... I'm nowhere near the photographer you are... or I'd have a few pics like this to show.
