It's May 17 and snowing this morning. The Yukon River is finally breaking up though. So far, not too much flooding.

There must be a awful ice jam somewhere. The weatherman is calling for mixed snow and rain today. Waiting for spring at the end of May gets to be a bit much.
Dear hubby was a laborer and worked up in Prudoe Bay when the facilities were built and the pipeline was going in. He worked for a long while at Atigan Pass camp. We were blessed to go up an live in Fairbanks in 82 and 83. He worked at a station on the haul road doing refurbishing of the science lab. He had a nice long commute up the haul road to work each day.
I was able to work at a fish camp on the Yukon and it was an experience I will always cherish. We got hitched at the court house in February and it was about 60 below.
We have been back south for many a decade now and my hope is for us to be able to to go back up and take the AL-CAN again.
This time we want to do the touristy things and enjoy the journey, not just working.
The benefit of going up when we did, is it allowed us to save up the money we used purchasing our tiny homestead here.
I have the much respect for folks who are able to make a go of it living in the bush.
Trident, thank you. I love hearing stories from the pipeline days. I was just born a bit too late.
Here is an uncut interview of my friend Sue who I am hoping to get to go visit this summer. All you single guys wanting to get away from it all, you might want to get to know Sue hahaha.

Poor Susan. It was so hard for her to be here for those 3 months. Also, she has pretty bad PTSD about the bear attack. She doesn't like talking about it but she does a bit on the show. You can tell she gets teary eyed anytime they ask her to talk about it. It was a pretty bad deal.

Right down the road from my house. Denali (Mt. McKinley) in the background. Sorry I am just learning to use my manual settings on my new camera and it was 11 pm so not too light.

Looks like we absolutely just skipped spring. It's 90 degrees today. Just 10 days ago it was snowing! Green up FINALLY happened over night two days ago. One day all the trees are bare, the very next day whole hillsides are green. I love green up. It normally takes 3-4 days though. 24 hours of daylight really helps.

Tell Sue that my house is pulling for her, she is tough as nails from what I saw on "Life Below Zero."
Was really crappy to see that someone stole all her gas when she got back to her camp!

Fairbanks, Alaska — Three days (64 hours) are compressed into this two-minute video revealing a remarkably fast spring greenup. This series of 3,800+ photos (one per minute) shows birch trees from bud to leave. Springtime passes by quickly in Alaska. This time-lapse series was photographed in high-definition May 25 - 27, 2013 with a GoPro Hero2 camera. Eric Muehling © 2013. All Rights Reserved.

Ah the new VW commercial. It has the midnight sun, it has a sign that says Fairbanks, AK, it has a Noble Street, it has a caribou. It is NOT Fairbanks. We have plenty of moose wandering through town, but caribou are herd animals and do not roam the streets of town.
