One of Michael’s students asked,
“How are you driving to Alaska? Isn’t it in the ocean?”
Alaska can be a bit of a geography mystery!
While it’s often shown below California on maps, it’s actually connected to Canada on the northwest side. The Inside Passage and outer islands do require a plane or boat to reach, and some interior areas too!
But you can drive to Alaska🚗🌲

**What is a water catchment system?** 🌊
Water catchment, also known as water harvesting, is the process of collecting and storing rainwater. These systems gather water from rain gutters and use pipes to direct it to a storing drum, barrel, or cistern. Once collected, pumps move the water to where it needs to go.
Would you do this? 💧💭 Let us know in the comments!

💭 "From dream to reality, one step at a time..."
Never in a million years did I imagine walking down a harbor in Alaska to our very own boat, heading out to an island where we're building a house. If no one told you your dreams could come true, think again. Set your mind to it, and anything is possible.
Even with my anxiety through the roof about this boat 🤣,
I'm proof that dreams do come true.
