Finally got the picture thing to work so will add some pics that go back a few days.
This is some of the ice that has broken or calfed off the Columbia glacier near Valdez.
This is called a fish wheel and is sort of a ferris type wheel with a couple of baskets on it and as it rotates via paddle wheels in the water and as it does so it picks up any salmon that happen to get in it's way. The AK residents can get a permit to catch subsistance salmon for their families this way. The lady we worked for near Valdez took Dick and Lynne and Verla there to get some salmon while Kathleen and I were in IA at the funeral. Sorry to have missed that!!!!!!
A king salmon that got caught in the fish wheel wanted his picture taken with Dick.
