Winter is truly here. Wayne, I and a group of dogs are out checking out the Yukon River just as it was freezing up. Here it is looking pretty good, but Alaska likes to throw curve balls and the river shifted twice after the ice ground to a halt.
We are presently working to get trail crossings in. The downriver crossing is in and a good one. The crossing into Eagle will be in hopefully tomorrow. This year’s final freeze up of the ice has left sections too jumbled to travel so the land trails will be very important this year. Early snow let us get the local trails in. A warm chinook wind took out some of the snow but we are still out and about and looking forward to a good travel season.
