The town of Eagle along the Yukon was hit hard by the break up of the ice earlier this summer. The ice jammed up before the town and when the water pressure was too much it well... kind of exploded and ripped the town apart. Houses we ripped off of their foundations and thrown several hundred feet in different directions... The whole town was pretty much destroyed. So we stopped in Eagle for a day and helped a lady (Lennie) out by taking her house apart for her and sorting through the junk and the reusable wood. Some of the nails we pulled....
The clean up process...

Ellen, John, and I taking apart Lennie's house.


Leaving the town of Eagle




One of the most beautiful nights we had. It was crystal clear with great views in every direction!
