Sunday morning we were up early to board a boat that would take us roundtrip from Dawson to Eagle, AK. We had driven a horrible road to reach Eagle in '07 and wanted to return but not by car. It was a very relaxing trip. However, we were saddened to see the destruction the little town had suffered when the Yukon River ice broke up during early May. They had a levee, but it did very little good. There was no record of anything like that happening before. Many homes were demolished. It looked like a tornado had hit the town. There are a number of First Nation residents there; and,as a whole, their homes were affected the most.
