The ice is still running but consists mostly of small chunks. The weather was beautiful today with just a few mosquito’s out. Aircraft have been flying in almost every day bringing in construction materials for people rebuilding their homes. The barges won’t be able to run until the river is ice free but that shouldn’t be long now. Four homes have already been demolished and removed from their lots in preparation for new construction so this should be a busy summer. Lynn and I plan to take off for a week or so after school is out and then I can get back to gathering firewood and getting ready for the next winter. If the river and weather cooperate I might be able to put my boat in next weekend.
