The ferry usually starts running 10-14 days after breakup, depending on river conditions. The Yukon River is still clearing further upriver in Alaska.
Eagle AK had flooding and icebergs in town this year, damaging numerous buldings, including some that were wrecked in the 2009 flood.
Circle AK was completely flooded, with numerous homes ruined. Water levels were up 8' in some place in town.
Now Fort Yukon AK is feeling the effects of the river ice jamming and flooding.
This late spring hasn't been fun for many!
