Thank goodness it's not in your back yard...........................

none here yet.
snow is still white and nothing on the trucks.
too far away too see any actual eruption activity.

airports both Willow and Talkeetna are on hills, right here i am in kind of a low spot.

last time we had fallout here was from a big forest fire, 1/8 to 1/4 inch of ash all over everything.

still, i will have a personal experience with molten metal, soon as i go outside and fire up the flame wrench.

Fire & Iceman-great combination.

Alan, this is from the news:

Eight Australians on a backcountry tour holed up in Shell Lake Lodge near Skwentna, about 100 miles northwest of Anchorage, waiting for the ash to settle.

“It’s a good half inch, it’s a pretty heavy dusting,” Craig Saunders, a Palmer man leading the group on an eight-day snowmobile tour of the Alaska wilds, said Monday.

I guess it is the volcano that won"t quit. Explosive eruptions all week. Trace ash fall in Anchorage tonight. Google AVO. com for latest news.

Brian how far away from it are you? Seems like it took some time to get there. Or that long to fall back to the ground after it was sent into orbit.

Bills 66 · Post by **Bills 66** » March 30, 2009, 1:38 pm

There have been approximately 15 eruption over thr last 10 days. It takes about 4 to 6 hrs for the ash to reach us in anchorage about 100 miles from Redoubt I think Brian is about the same distance.
