Random, really.

NB: There really is a town called Alkali Lake in Oregon for you X-Men fans out there.

.
ETA: But then again there are also towns called: Spray, Boring, Drain (knew those two), and Wagontire. I'd name more but the connection is being finicky. Geography is fun!

movies: x-men, random

Ah, but the actual lake in question? It's the Upper Kananaskis, about an hour away from my place. ;-) The dam is CGI'ed in, but one can literally tromp around out there pretending to be Wolverine if they're so inclined. *shifty eyes* What?

*snort* Well I expect photos then, darn it! (also, I have no clue where the lake was even *supposed* to be...they didn't really leave that up to our imaginations did they?)

This is *so* why I post the random. :)

Oh man, I'm madly searching the photo album here and nothing is labeled, but I'll totally find you a picture! My dad and I have a running joke of waving to the mutants whenever we go past... much to the annoyance of the sane folks in the family.

You post the random, I'll bring the 'Megan makes a fool of herself' stories. *G*

Hee! That's awesome. :) *waves to the mutants from afar*

I so win! :D

Oh, also! I did go through your comments/squee and have been petting them and nodding at them, just hadn't figured out quite what to do about anything yet. I'm sure I'll send you an email about it at some point. :)

Excellent! I'm sure they are enjoying all the attention! ;-D Well, we've got a weekend coming up (she says, as if you've forgotten how time generally works...) so perhaps we'll both run into some lovely free time then, eh?

Oh, wow. God, I miss mountains like those. ...And that is a gorgeous photo, my dear. Truly. I definitely want a photo of that Wolverine impression. ;D

I really really missed the view while I was up in Edmonton. (And thank you! *g* Although it's hard to take a bad picture out there, honestly.) We'll reenact something! I call Cyclops!

And to continue our trail of random here, in light of your ETA, the not-quite-the-proper-lake actually is called Spray Lake. *voodoo hands*

That is soooo wacky. And randomly coincidental. You might win on the randomness there.
