Thanks bairdi!

When are you headed downriver? Are you headed to the same river that we bumped into each other at the boat launch at this spring or will you be using your surface drive elsewhere? Might be in the area helping a friend finish up a cabin. Maybe we'll cross paths.

Plan to use the square stern freighter canoe with a small long tail in the same area. Wife's uncle lands the night of September 6th, we're heading out the next morning.

Surveyors' Exchange. In Aurora, tucked in behind Bill Larry's snowmachine/ATV place. Turn across from the Fairgrounds and go south a few yards. It's on the right.

Thanks Pete!

Losing 6 minutes of daylight per day here, now.

White 17 and OB must be down south bird hunting?

Here's a heck of a snow machine package! http://anchorage.craigslist.org/rvs/3972440153.html

I found this washed up by where I park my boat yesterday right before we went out on a commercial opener for salmon.
not sure what it is but don't look like anything that grows around here.

I am wondering if Yukontrapper can chime in if knows anyone that might of grew a tropical plan there in Galena and got flooded and washed down here since we have a banana tree growing in the house here.

it does have tentacles or roots not sure what to call them.

not sure weather to hatch it or take the potato peeler out and make soup

lilypad root from the looks of it Jeff. At least it looks like ones I've seen before.

Here is what google has for lili roots

well I guess I was just assuming maybe, seen em floating in beaver ponds before that were full of lillies

You are right here's a video I found.

I am surprised I have never seen one before.

im sure you could figure out a way to eat them;)

Yup Lilly pad root, the beaver on the flats down here pretty much make there living off them instead of bark. Some wont even go after a green pole for bait as a result

Almost looks like a deformed pineapple. Throw it in a planter box and see what happens

The elders call them pineapple plants I just know the beaver that have nothing but tundra around them love them

I kind of thought of pineapple too so does anyone eat them down there O-man?

I am surprised I have never seen one till now.

never heard of anyone eating them only the beaver

Looks like their is a lot to eat on one I would try it but it came out of the river by the fish plant so don't smell real good.

Oh and the geese are flying
