Nenana Ice Classic is over for 2009


The tripod went out this evening.  The clock stopped at 9:42 p.m. May 1st!  (official time is 8:41 p.m., something about daylight savings?) And guess what!  I was there to see it!!!!!!

These pictures do not do it justice!  When the ice was moving, it felt like a train was going by, the earth was rumbling.  The sound was a loud rumbling, creaking and whooshing.  It was huge!

This last picture shows the channel behind the tripod opening and ice chuncks piling up behind it.
