we decided to head out past idaho springs, to the oldest known spring to man. but there’s a secret… not very many people know about it. the owner of the property wants to keep it that way. we just happened to be talking to someone who told us about the owner and how he discovered this spring on his property. the spring is supposedly 33,000 years old. it stays at a constant 40 degrees, in the winter, and in the summer. it’s been tested, and has more minerals than any other water. even an astronaut came out to see and test it!
a little science for anyone who may care…for example, we have well water right now, which because of naturally occurring rocks and things in the mountain, can mean any amount of good or bad things-such as…we have a lot of uranium in our water! oh, if you don’t know, it’s not good!!! so we hooked up our water softener and reverse osmosis system , but when you drink reverse osmosis water, the water is basically dead. it can’t fill your cells with what it needs. which means…sickness and death to your cells, than you.
so it’s been a fun learning project for me, especially with the generally poor health that i have, i feel as though i’m learning great and important things all the time. even if it’s simply the quality of water one is drinking…which by the way, coming from georgia city water-i don’t even want to know the chemicals and drugs that was flowing through our pipes! or the failed water tests charles town would mail to all the citizens in the city…how is that legal? only in west virginia!
driving up to, through, and back from idaho springs was absolutely gorgeous! it’s such beautiful country out here in the mountains! after getting some yummy cold fresh spring water, jarom had us stop by a small lake and skipped rocks with the girls. what a fun dad! it was a beautiful family saturday!
beautiful river running between the highway and the mountains. you better believe there were lots of people tubing and kayaking.
