The Big Thaw (February 20-21, 2010)






The temperatures this past week have been in the 30s and 40s. The last time the high was below freezing was two weeks ago. We attempted to go for a hiking on Sunday, but the trails were so packed down from the winter and with all the melting the trails were pure ice. As an alternate plan we walked along the Kenai beach. We went in mid-afternoon when the tide was very low. The mudflats extended a ways off into the distance revealing many large rocks and ice chunks from the ocean and river. We even found some interesting lichen on a couple of the rocks that are submerged in water during high tide.

Mark and Kelly will be arriving in Kenai in 17 days!
