Ice is nice?

We went out and explored along the path between the Fort Edmonton Foot Bridge and the Terwillager Dog Park this weekend.  The trails were pretty muddy but it was a beautiful day on Sunday.

The ice is still pretty well covering the river.  There are some places where the ice has pushed right up on the river bank and uprooted small trees.  The spot where Ken was panning down there last year is under about 3 ft of water.  The sandbar where we spent a week in May of 2009 (my vacation week) panning is still under a lot of water and ice.

It isn't looking hopeful for this week as the temperatures are not supposed to come up to double digits.  We will be down to the river at least one day this coming week though just to see how it is thawing.

Hoping this week brings warmer temperatures than they are forecasting.

Happy panning
