That's down in Nenana where they vote on the time the Tripod will go out. :) Sorry you ended up with a flooded yard.

Thanks, Lynne. I love when the ice goes out. It's amazing how quickly it happens - and the noise is incredible!

I was stationed at wainwright from 86-90 and caught a lot of grayling there. is the fishing still good there ?

[snooze4592]

I see a lot of fisherman along the banks of the Chena, so I'm going to assume the fishing is still good there.
