Here are some more photographs taken on March 9. I have more that I haven’t processed yet. Temperature got up to above zero during the afternoon but still pretty windy.

I also had planned to go out in my boat quite a bit… Continue reading Rainy summer, injuries and learning to run with a sled dog.

Yesterday there was a significant amount of driftwood in the river and a fair amount of ice mixed in. The river seemed to be mostly clear of drift today but that normally… Continue reading First Barge of 2021

I stopped long enough to take a couple of pictures with my… Continue reading Yukon River Breakup in Progress
