Spring Update

With just sixteen (16) days remaining until the Anchor River opens for the first weekend of King Salmon fishing, spring is showing good signs. The wetlands at the mouth of the river is filled with ducks, geese, and cranes. The snow berms from plowing are down from 6 - 7 feet to 2 - 3 feet. "Grannies Trail" up the side of the bluff is now flowing a good head of water, however, the east slope stream which remains unnamed is turbulent and would be a good Class 4 white water adventure. It is flowing a torrent at the current time. A slight improvement in the bowl area since the last posting, however, we still have a lot of run off to contend with but it is draining. Lower "Kroc Pond" has broke up for the season with some minor flooding occurring and washing over "Private Road". Another week, we may be able to get in and start work, that will give us the time we need to finish up with some spring chores at the Eagle Nest.

Lower "Kroc Pond" is now a designated landing zone on the northerly flyway. A good showing of geese and ducks have been using the pond for overnight stop over area since it is in a protected area being that it is in a designated recreational area and hunting is prohibited. "Crackers" is still hanging out at the Eagle Nest but I think "Butch" and "Sundance" has made the spring migration back to the Hole In The Wall. The little ones will be excited this year, we have a small herd of wild horses living in the HITW now. Well, the herd is only one horse right now but maybe more will show up later. Could not get a decent picture of him, he is a little wild but a beautiful "White Bronco". I think he is broke to ride.
