North Slope Drill Rig.

Nice. Thank you.

The odds are good, but the goods are odd.

If you're interested in Alaskan history, there's some cool stuff here.

Quite a few interesting reads there.

Indeed so.

And the light comes back......

If you need to get away from it all.

Remember to shovel the snow off your boat.

That's a pricey problem!
I'm guessing the cabin and all of that tech gear aren't designed to withstand the pressures of ice as well as the hull.

I don't think ice was the issue, I think the big snowstorm was and the boats were overloaded.

I know what you meant about the snow making the boats top heavy.
I meant that the parts that are submersed now probably weren't designed for the horizontal pressures of shore ice, or immersion in salt water.

Oh, heck no. They are salvage, now.

Time to go skating!

Some people play in the woods where there is no view.

Yikes! We had 40f today! Ice fishing is over, there was one week of ice fishing this winter.
We might get cold later but not in the foreseeable future.
The other weird thing that’s going on is that Chicago has been colder than Minneapolis. It’s a weird winter.
However sometimes it snows in April.

I'm not from your area, but I certainly wouldn't say that winter is over.

It’s probably just this week, but the ice is currently out.

Ice roads are just in, here.

The gas company just sent this out.
