Fischrad above the high water mark

And for us the harvest season began: Raspberries (already over), Gartengemuese (in progress), cranberries (in progress).

cranberries - eng. Low bush cranberries - I have to hurry to come to the mice before!

Soon we will begin our search for Moose (elk): Every two to three years, we go hunting. Learn more about this later.

How To Make A Moon Ring With A Moon Rock

sludge meets glacier sand - the day after


Muddy creek

Our summer is very wet. Yesterday we had the second time in three weeks, torrential rains, which lasted more than 24 hours. Within a few Hours the water rose to the creek, and shortly thereafter followed the flow. One of our bridges over the creek was washed away by the floods. Again, we had to evacuate the beach. Numerous landslides line the Yukon coast between Green Creek and Raven.


My water hole: flooded

morning loosened the clouds. In addition to masses of driftwood are also unexpected treasures down a river. We found this morning an empty petrol can, a good press board and a shattered plastic container.

addition to useful things we find lots of garbage on and in the river

this morning when I followed the creek up, came Lance for me, just as I had reached the point where the bridge had been. In his usual Ungestümtheit he wanted to rush past me. Too late he realized that the bridge was no longer there. In a split second he decided (I could read his mind: stay must be - no, too late - oh oh, must go ), to take the plunge - and landed in the middle of the stream. Fortunately, the water level was going down, Lance would have dared to jump yesterday, he would probably be washed away by the raging waters of which been.

Lance on the other side of the river: still wet but good things


It clarifies

* While in the stream normally clear water ripples, the flow leads to late autumn glacial sand. As a result of the rains bring the brick, sand, shrubs, trees and earth with it.

Jacuzzi In Men's Changing Room

Double Rainbow over Green Creek

After a night that was filled with bright lightning, rolling thunder and pouring rain, we started our clock at six in the morning on the way to check the Fischrad. It was drizzling still, ragged storm clouds were on the sky scattered and a new dark gray wall of rain approached us about downstream. The world around us was bathed in a diffuse orange mist.


When we arrived at Fischrad, we looked back to the house, the sun was just behind us rose up over the horizon and lit up the hill behind Green Creek - a double rainbow framed the scene.

Why Unopened Mussels Are Bad

Fischrad fishes

The Fischrad turns, migrating salmon, sea gulls and eagles all, and I struggle with a lack of beauty sleep.
