We left Glennallen Sun after church and stopped at the home of our DRS project. It is a very nice log home that is horseshoed in a small river that flooded in 06 and brought not only unimaginable debris but also1 to 3 feet of silt over the entire property. We dug out some of her crawl space that was full of silt so that the plumbing could be accessed and to permit access to reinsulate the floor of the house because all the old insulation was washed out. We also repositioned her firewood shed and stabilized it (it got moved with the flood waters) and then put all of her firewood back in it after knocking off as much silt as we could. The silt is very very fine sand that gets into everything. We also moved a ton of debris to a burn pile. She went to Gennallen and got a burn permit on Mon so that she can burn all that stuff. Sister Kathleen also celebrated her birthday there and the owner there(68yr old widow)made her a birthday cake so we enjoyed birthday cake and coffee in her kitchen.We left there on Wed and came to Veldez where we are camped now. Are signed up to go on a glacier cruise on Fri so hope the rain stops long enough to get that in.We will go back to the DRS project on Sat and see what else there is that we can do there.
