The ice broke upriver

The dirt is showing! 45 degrees melts away the snow and ice.

They have a contest upriver as to when the ice melts on the Koyokuk River. The tripod fell last night at 10:00 PM. People bet on when the ice breaks. This year, the winner wins $330,000.00. The win is determined when a tripod setup falls down. Shifting of ice causes the tripod to fall.

We have seen no effects of the ice breaking upriver yet
