When the river went out it left big icebergs on the sandbar. It gave Jeff and I a chance to play King of the Mountain. He won!

The ice in the main channel of the Susitna River going downstream from Susitna Station broke open today and the river has been clearing out all day! Yay!

Yesterday felt like Spring. The river broke in front of us, the water was running, the sun was out...but last night the ice broke loose upstream from us and all came crashing down the river and bogged down right in front of us. There's nothing but ice as far as the eye can see. Then to boot it started snowing this morning. It feels and looks like Winter again!

May Day! The sun came out for a few minutes so Jeff and I headed out to play in the sand. Didn't last too long though. It started to hail then snow and we barely made it back to the cabin before it started pouring rain. Springtime in Alaska! By the way, I put my toes in the water and they froze in seconds!

The word for the last few days is WEATHER. Rain, hail and snow! Hopefully we've had the last snowfall for the year. It stuck to the ground, then it hailed a few times and then it rained and rained and rained. The new snow disappeared quickly. The river is getting a lot more water on it but so far the ice is still holding. It's nice to see the sandbars reappear.

Swans arrived! It must be Spring. They are sitting on the frozen river but it's melting more each day.
