Rotten Ice

underneath the Wendel street bridge we have lots of old ice again, its been warm lately and the river is starting to melt. this is what rotten ice looks like, don't walk on it. Warm for us is 45 degrees for the last 10 days strait. its back down to 20 overnight.

there is open water here , just a little bit. its moving. All these were taken on , Sunday about 8 pm april 4

Down by the first Ave bridge there are a few poles from the start of the Yukon quest back in February. I saw someone go skiing on the river 2 days ago, but not something that i would do , even if i could ski.

We didn't get much snow this winter , so it has nearly all gone from my front south facing yard.

Walking along the river on 1st ave is interesting, the city has put up some signs about some of the Fairbanks history. I think this is readable. and I think quite interesting. Strait across the street from the Key bank building.

there will be more coming as the river changes over the next couple of weeks.
