Hadley and the Big Breakup

Breakup is officially official...


Monday April 23, 2012 at 7:39PM


The earliest date I cast a vote for was the 30th, so I didn't win any of the record jackpot of $350,000.   Oh well... it's a true crap shoot when you gamble against nature!  It's just been warm, warm, warm... melt, melt, melt...


There's currently a little after breakup ice blockage on the Nenana by Denali.  Nothing you could walk over, like there was my first season up here... shhhh, don't tell, I didn't know any better...

Here's a look back at the Nenana through the winter...


                                              November

                                                                       December

                                                                      February 

                                                   April

As the river flows, all the previously frozen water is on the move...

With the weather and climate being so lovely these days, the kitties have enjoyed some outdoor time... on a leash of course!   I only have one harness, and two cats that want a taste of the wild, so they have to take turns...

                                              Ernesto just says, BIG YAWN...

With another beautiful weekend in Denali, comes another trip into the Park!  This time... avec chat!   Hadley got to experience the awesomeness that is Denali National Park.   She was a little confused about the car ride, but she really enjoyed getting outside and smelling the new smells and rolling around in the new dirt...

Who ever said dogs are more fun than cats?   They haven't met Hadley:)


As much fun as Miss Hadley had on her big adventure, she was happy to get back to her handsome boyfriend...

MIGRATION UPDATE: I JUST saw the first birds heading north for the summer as I was writing this blog!  I'm not sure what they were... swans perhaps? LIFE is officially returning!
