 It was very interesting to see why there is so much turbulence and vortex on the Yukon.  

The 3D Fishfinder is not as good as the advertisement promised, but it is much better than a "normal" one! You can see very well that there are many rocks that catapult the water to the surface and so the many turbulences in the Yukon arise !

 The Old Woman Rock Funny is that I first noticed the Moos with calf standing in the middle of the picture at the bottom while sorting out the pictures !  

I didn't notice that at all while taking the pictures....

 One of the many fish camps along the Yukon. Unfortunately they were all not occupied this year because the Salmonrun is very bad and the authorities have reduced the fishing times extremely !

 For me the section from Dawson to Circle belongs to the most scenic of the Yukon River !

 Directly next to the store is a telephone which connects you directly to the customs in Anchorage. 
In Eagle itself there is no customs officer anymore....

 After the bad flood of 2009, which destroyed much of Eagle, it's nice to see that something new is being built !
