BobBski 2017..

Was going to ask you why Alaskan rivers often look so grey and cloudy, but googled it instead:

"The weight of the glacier grinding rocks against each other can pulverize rocks until they are almost the consistency of flour. This finely ground rock easily stays suspended in flowing water and is deposited at the mouth of the river."

Does this sound accurate to you Bob?
p.s. Will eating Alaskan fish give you extra minerals?

MnPaul...you're correct on the glacier fed rivers. That glacial silt can also fill your clothes and drown you should you fall in. Unsure on the extra minerals hahaha

The girls are being cute, one on the left "food/food/food?" one on the right "I'm going to pretend I'm not interested and maybe he'll take pity".

It was 84 and breeze less on the river so the girls and I moved to higher ground and 66 to see the Worthington Glacier, just north of Valdez.  Now to head back and linkup with the grandsons for the weekend.

And yes, there is such a thing as ice worms.

6 minute video stored on YouTube showing today's road trip on the Richardson Hwy, mm 102 to mm 35

First on scene to vehicle/moose collision.  Young lady who left Florida 10 days ago and only had 60 miles left to Valdez and friends.  She was fine, car didn't fare too well, made the 911 call and let her use my phone to call friends and family.  Alaska's finest showed on scene.

 

[BobBski]

Sadly the moose didn't either, she had 2 calves.
