Break Up 2009 Has Happened!

Wow! Can you all believe that it is already May! It just seems like yesterday we were ringing in the New Year! I am happy that it is May since, in June, my family and I are all going on another exciting adventure in our "ARVY". We will travel in Alaska, of course, and may even make our way into the Yukon and other parts of Canada, too. I am so excited! I want to see more wildlife again this year, especially bears next to the side of the road. I will make sure we take a lot of photos for all my blog readers. We will even write about our RV travels. So, please come back this summer and follow my big adventure.

For now, I will put some break up river pictures on my blog. These are of the Kuskokwim River. The ice went out early on May 9, 2009 so everybody is down at the river watching huge ice chunks float by.
















No Swimming seemed real obvious to me but you
never know, I guess.















Here I am down near the Kuskokwim River
before the ice started really going out.















I am sitting on the edge of the window, in the
Tahoe here. You can see some of the Kuskokwim
River behind me.















This close-up shot, shows an ice sheet which
was about 25 inches thick, above the water.















Here is that same ice chunk, like the last picture,
but only panned out so you can see more.
