Flood emergency grips Interior Alaska 🌊
Rivers don’t send warnings twice. Ice jams are pushing water into places that don’t usually see it this fast… and whole communities are scrambling to adapt. The question now isn’t what happened, it’s what’s still coming next. 👀

#6 - Wildlife. We didn't actually see a lot of large terrestrial animals on the trip, but we did see a female moose with two little meese, and later another young-looking moose (pictured). Also spotted a beaver, and red squirrels.

We did see some bears, but it was on the drive to our put-in, not in the wild-wild.

Lots of birds though! I counted 30 confirmed species of birds seen and heard, plus another 4 unconfirmed.
