Stream Team Ventures on the Ice: You load a 16 tons and what do you get?

Another day older and deeper in debt. Two posts in one day. One that I meant to post a week ago, and another one while I finally have the time AND the energy to write. ie. Today.

The last two days have seen the dismantling of two stream guages, Priscu and Huey. They are both to be moved further upstream where Priscu has filled with sediment and the lake is about 20 feet away from the control, and the latter is filled with head sized cobble now frozen to the permafrost layer. Yesterday we got Priscu looking like it did 20 years ago when it did not have a guage on it. Today we got about halfway done with Huey which I spent about 6 hours just digging out tarp that was lain out to direct water. Read the previous blog for more...For now I am at a fast computer and going to just try and post pictures.

Pictures are taking too long...will post them later.

Lost Seal at high flow. There is also this much water going around the guage about 200 feet to the right ha!

The most badass boat in all of the valleys. Steam Powered, wind driven Haus of a boat.

what is left of the old bonney camp, blown in a stream and covered in algae

Priscu stream guage before. That flume is supposed to be level.

Priscu from above. The lake is about a foot below in elevation. The lake used to be about half a mile away...

Priscu after!!! Many rocks moved...Way too many

A glacier that feeds Doran stream...This glacier makes me feel something good, but I can't explain what it is. But it makes me feel very euphoric when I look at it.
