Caveat: Tree #655

This tree saw a dumptruck (with caveats).

The road to town is allegedly open again. I’ll try it tomorrow, going to work.

Caveat: Tree #654

This tree witnessed my efforts to divert some of the water that was flowing along the uphill side of the road across the road, using small dikes of gravel.
picture
That was to prevent the “main” culvert from overflowing at the head of our driveway, because once that happens, our driveway begins to erode quickly. We have received 4 inches of rain in 36 hours. It’s still raining. The road to town is closed again, as of last night.
Here is the main culvert, not-quite-full.

Caveat: Tree #653

This tree (bottom center left) has two leaves left, at the very top. I saw it in Klawock the other day.

Caveat: Tree #652

This tree was also in Klawock yesterday. The mountain in the far distance in the lower left of the photo is in fact the back side of Sunnahae mountain, which we can see from our house.

I spent part of the day putting the torsion bar and wheels back on the boat trailer, having gotten new hubs installed by Chet in town. You can see the shiny new hub in the picture.

Caveat: Tree #649

This tree (which tree? – some group of trees, perhaps?) saw an unprecedented traffic jam on Port Saint Nicholas Road. This was due to the landslides and a flagger being present to direct traffic through the sporadically-open single lane as many excavators and dumptrucks did their duties to clear debris.

Caveat: Tree #647

This tree is also across the river from the clinic in Klawock. “The Clinic in Klawock” sounds like the title of an Seussian epic poem.

Caveat: Tree #645

This tree has a freshly be-snowed Harris Peak in the background.
picture
We had our first frosty nights, the last two nights. I figured the growing season is therefore done, and I started ripping out the moldy vegetation. I found some vegetables – small potatoes, micro onions, bite-sized carrots, anemic leeks. I am thinking of trying to make an “Alaskan garden stew” with them.

Caveat: Tree #644

This tree is in town. There is one of those ubiquitous shipping containers lurking nearby.

This tree has been featured before, but now it includes eagle (lower right, perched on the “dock arch”).

Caveat: Tree #637

This tree is seeking attention.
picture
Arthur and I pulled out the lower two rails from the boat rail assembly with a nice low tide at around 5 this evening.
I found the original pulley that broke, camouflaged among the seaweed and rock – corroded and barnaclized, as I’d suspected.
