Gathering good spring water - living water

Good - Living Water is getting harder and harder to come upon so when water is found it is something to treasure and appreciate! Daniel Vitalis is a living water advocate and has a website Find A Spring to locate good springs throughout the world. Please particpate if you find a spring enter it, just get out and locate and enjoy good water! I occasionally go to the mountains outside of Ojai to gather water.
Bellyache Springs, Ojai, CA (You climb the waterfall and follow creek to source ((maybe 1oo yards). The water does not give a bellyache!)


Now Water from my recent travels!

Wildflowers from Boca Cave area, OR and above the old ski bowl, Mt Shasta, CA

In my annual trip to Oregon I always gather water at various locations along the trail of my travels. I always drive a grueling 9-10 hour day just to get to Mt Shasta before dusk. I gathered water in four significant places for me. I started at Mt Shasta City Park, CA at the Headwater of the Sacramento River (5 Gals, 64 oz). In the Breitenbush Summer Homes at Breitenbush, OR (5 Gals) and nearby Boca Cave (32 oz). Back to Mt Shasta were I gathered water from snow melt and glacier (1 Gal, 32 oz) and the city park (4 Gals, 32 oz). I arrived back home with 5 Gals and gave away 1 (lucky soul).

Here is a - video - I took of the headwaters of the Sacromento River at Mt Shasta City Park.

Mt Shasta City Park, CA. I gathered 5 Gals here on the way north and another 5 Gals on my way south.

Year round water drips from the back wall of Boca cave this took about 15 minutes to fill.

I have 32oz in the refridge for a water ceremony coming up soon. Special prayer and evocation for healing and purifying. This medicine goes down well, yum!

I also gathered a gallon from this very spot at around 8000' on MT Shasta, CA

This is above Panther Meadows (which has a true spring) and the old ski bowl at Mt Shasta, CA. This is a seasonal stream as opposed to a spring. Glacial and snow melt.
