Birds, Bat, Butterflies, and Dragonflies: Part 3
What is something that birds, bats, butterflies, and dragonflies all have in common?
Well, yes, they do fly. But something that doesn't occur to the typical person not well-versed in these animal types is that all of these creatures migrate. Now that summer is ending, days are getting shorter, and the air is just a bit cooler out there, we can expect to see these animals on the move soon.
This blog is part three of a short series on migrating animals. This topic: butterflies!
The Impressive Migrating Monarch
Most butterflies do not migrate. They have the ability to overwinter as larvae, pupae, or even adults depending on the species. Only one species is known to migrate like birds: the Monarch.
The beautiful orange and black Monarch Butterfly makes a very impressive journey every year. The Huron River Watershed and the rest of Michigan play an important role in that migration, having prime summer weather conditions for butterfly breeding. Come fall, the Monarch is headed south– about 3000 miles south. In fact, the migration path is so long that it outlasts any individual butterfly's life span. One Monarch generation migrates south, the next generation migrates north, breeds two or three short-lived generations in the summer, the latest of which continues the cycle by heading south.
The trip south
In late August, Monarchs in Michigan begin their trip south, traveling along the Great Lakes coastline, though the Great Plains States, and eventually reaching their winter breeding grounds in southern Mexico and Central America. The Great Lakes are important features in the flight of the monarch– the insects use the winds over the lakes to speed them along on their journey. Monarch's can not do this migration without proper rest and relaxation though. Shoreline habitats are important for feeding and recovering energy.
At the date this blog is being written (September 30), Monarchs are well out of Michigan. They should be flying through Oklahoma and crossing the Texas border!
Once the butterflies reach Mexico in November, they congregate into huge populations on the highlands and mountains of Mexico and Central America. There are only 12 traditional wintering sites, which means the species is susceptible to habitat changes and bad weather. In 2012 and 2013, bad weather conditions during the winter breeding season led to a Monarch population crash. In 2014, weather conditions were ideal and the population rebounded slightly, but the population is still 80% below the 20 year average.
The trip back north
In the spring, Monarchs slowly move their way back north. States on the Gulf Coast will see Monarchs return by early April, and by mid April the butterflies will have reached Kentucky and Tennesee. By early May, the first Monarchs can be in south Michigan and they will reach the Upper Penninsula by the end of May. Monarchs do continue into southern Canada as well, though for many individuals, Michigan is their final destination.
Give me more details!

Now that summer is ending, days are getting shorter, and the air is just a bit cooler out there, we can expect to see these animals on the move soon.
This blog is part two of a short series on migrating animals. This topic: bats!
Michigan Bats
Michigan is home to nine bat species. Some of these bats are year long residents, while others have to head south for warmer climates in the fall and winter. Bats in Michigan are solely insect eaters, and as such, during the colder months of the year when insects are not outside, bats must either hibernate or head south to survive.
The Big Brown Bat is the most common bat species in southeast Michigan. This bat typically does not migrate, but instead hibernates in the winter in houses and caves. They may move from a summer roost to a winter home, but the move is usually less than 30 miles as they are just searching for a suitable hibernation location. This usually happens in mid-September and is triggered by cold nights and low insect activity. They prefer attics that are around 35-40 degrees. So, if you hear a scratching above your head in the middle of winter, you may very well be hearing Big Brown Bats re-positioning themselves during their hibernation slumber. Hibernating bats can survive low temperatures with reduced heartbeats, respiration, and body heat. They will reemerge from your attic in spring when the weather warms up enough for the insects to come out again.
The Little Brown Bat is also a common bat in Michigan, but they are more numerous in the northern parts of the State. This bat will migrate longer distances than the Big Brown Bat as their preferred overwintering sites are in caves to Michigan's south like the plentiful limestone caves of Kentucky and Tennessee. The Indiana Bat is similar in that it migrates a moderate distance, except that it prefers the caves in southern Indiana as its migratory location. Indiana Bats are an endangered species; they hibernate in huge numbers but only in a small number of caves, which makes them very vulnerable to any habitat disturbances in these locations.
The Eastern Red Bat, the Hoary Bat, the Silver Haired Bat, and the Northern Long-eared Bat prefer to roost in trees and not in houses or caves. As such, they must migrate a substantial distance to reach a climate warm enough to survive the outdoors in the winter. Their exact destinations are generally unknown as these species tend to be solitary creatures rather than communal, which makes finding them harder. However, they are known to be found in Texas, Florida, and northern Mexico during the winter months.
Many bats species are facing an uncertain future thanks to a disease spreading in caves while the bats hibernate. The White nose syndrome was first reported in 2007 and is caused by a fungus that colonizes the bats skin and eventually kills them. The species of bats that hibernate in caves in huge numbers are most at risk (like the Indiana Bat). As of 2014, the fungus has been spread throughout 25 States and is found in five Canadian provinces. Thankfully awareness of the disease has also spread. A consortium of partners including the US Fish and Wildlife Service, the US Forest Service, and the Nature Conservancy are intensively studying and managing the problem. Certain caves have been closed to human excess entirely, and in others (such as at Mammoth Caves National Park), visitors are required to disinfect their clothing and shoes after leaving the caves.

This blog is part one of a short series on migrating animals. First topic: birds!
Migrating Birds
In southeast Michigan, August marks the beginning of the migration season and migrations continue throughout the fall. Summer residents leaving our area soon will be the Green Herons, Killdeer, Spotted Sandpipers, flycatchers, Chimney Swifts, and the Ruby-throated Hummingbird (along with many others).
Obviously not every bird species leaves for warmer weather. Mourning Doves, Black-Capped Chickadees, White-Breasted Nuthatches, and the Tufted Titmouse (along many others) are found in southeast Michigan year round. Great Blue Herons stay as long as there is open water.
For other species, Michigan is a warm winter destination, as long as they can find open water. Without open water, they keep on heading south. Several water fowl species like the Ring-necked Duck, Common Merganser, and the Common Goldeneye are found in Michigan during the fall, winter, and spring but migrate north in the summer. The Dark-Eyed Junco and American Tree Sparrow also fit in this category.
And finally, other species only use Michigan as a stop along their migration path. Warblers in particular are known for this; examples include the Cape May Warbler, the Magnolia Warbler, the Canada Warbler, and the Palm Warbler.
Ebird.org is a great website for tracking what bird species come and go throughout many areas of the world. To find out more about a specific species mentioned in this post, see allaboutbirds.org.

My Huron River (Arms Creek)
One of the perks of my job as a co-director of the Adopt-a-Stream program at HRWC is that I get to see places that many others miss out on. And so while I love the main branch of the Huron River and spend many hours at our metroparks, I decided to focus on a small creek in Webster township– Arms Creek.
Arms Creek at the intersection of Walsh Road is known internally here at HRWC as "Adopt-a-Stream Site Number 1″, meaning that it was the first site to be picked as a part of the program way back in 1992. The watershed council and our many volunteers have been visiting this location and collecting information on this creek for 23 years! The creek contains many insect families that are sensitive to pollution and their presence tells us that the creek has good water quality. In fact, the insect population has been getting better over time, so conditions here have improved over the past 20 years. A thick riparian zone of trees and shrubs provides ample shade for the creek and plentiful groundwater inputs keep the water quite cold. Many decades ago, the DNR actually stocked Arms Creek with trout, which is very rare for the Huron Watershed, but not enough fisherman utilized the creek to make this worth the cost. Last year HRWC staff wrote a creekshed report for Arms Creek, which can be found here along with a clickable and zoomable map.
The Arms creekshed also contains Independence Lake, a beautiful county park located only a few miles from my
house and a spot that my family visits many times during the year. In the summer it is our go-to spot for swimming and waterslides, and in the other seasons we play on the playground and take walks through wetlands and fields. Winter is a great time to visit as the park is all but deserted. Last winter we spent a long time throwing rocks onto the lake and listening to the musical "plunk-plink-plunk-pppppppp" of the rocks echoing and reverberating against the ice.
Sunshine, bugs, and volunteers
People enjoying nature!
We could not have asked for better spring weather for our 120 volunteers on April 18! They soaked in the sun and warmth while visiting 50 different creek and river locations across the Huron River Watershed. Held twice a year, HRWC's River Roundup is one of the most effective ways that HRWC has to understand how the water quality of the river and creeks may be changing. From the macroinvertebrates collected during this event, we are able to keep abreast of the health of our waterways throughout the watershed. You can see all the results in April 18 River Roundup Report.
Mill Creek is the largest tributary to the Huron River, draining 143 square miles of land, 68 of which are agriculture. Agricultural impacts have certainly taken their toll on Mill Creek, with some Mill Creek's tributaries no more than straightened ditches, and the creek has phosphorus and E.Coli issues that come from fertilizers and animals. However, great things are happening in Mill Creek, including the removal of Mill Pond Dam in Dexter, stream stabilization projects, landowner education, and a renewed interest in bringing residents to the waterfront.
As a part of the River Roundup, volunteers regularly visit 9 sites on Mill Creek (the main branch and several tributaries). Four of these sample sites are showing significant improvements in the macroinvertebrate populations, indicating improving water quality and habitat. These four sites are Shield Road (near the mouth), Manchester Road and Klinger Road (both in the headwaters), and Fletcher Road (on the north branch).
Shield Road in particular seems to be doing quite well with several highly diverse samples taken since the removal of the downstream dam. The graph to the right shows the changes in the EPT (mayfly-stonefly-caddisfly) family diversity, with the red line in the middle of the graph indicating the dam removal. Samples in the early 2000′s were particularly poor with only 2 or 3 families found, and now we are regularly finding 6 or 7. Insect families that are now found which were not found previously include Baetid mayflies, Isonychia mayflies, Leptophlebia mayflies, and the Philopotamid caddisfly.
You can learn more about Mill Creek from our creekshed report.
If you have read these updates before, you will recall that we have learned that several streams in Livingston County have had significant reductions in their insect populations over time. In fact, of the 62 sites that we monitor across the Huron River Watershed, 20 are in Livingston County, and 9 of those have statistically significant reductions. In contrast, HRWC monitors 30 sites in Washtenaw County and the insects at 12 sites are statistically improving while zero are declining. Now, this may simply be a coincidence, as it is difficult to explain why a political boundary can make such a difference in insect populations. But the data speaks pretty clearly; among others, Davis Creek (South Lyon area) has been declining, and South Ore Creek (Brighton area) is also getting worse. Thankfully, both of these creeks could still be considered relatively healthy (when compared to more heavily urbanized creeks like Malletts), but we have to make some extra efforts to get these creeks to reverse their negative trends.

You should be a creekwalker! In this unique program, you will walk up and down a stream, exploring it and looking for possible pollution sources. Join by yourself, with friends, or with your family. Learn more about it at http://www.hrwc.org/volunteer/creekwalker/.
New study links coal-tar sealed pavement to death of aquatic organisms
Numerous studies on coal-tar based asphalt sealcoats have linked this product to human health problems and ecological damage (learn more about the issue in this recent blog and this newsletter article, page 7). HRWC would like municipalities and homeowners to refuse to use coal-tar based sealcoats because of their environmental effects, and a recent study released by the U.S. Geological Survey gives us all another reason to do so.
In this study, researchers applied coal-tar sealcoat to a section of a parking lot, and simulated rain-falls and collected the water runoff both 3 days and 36 days after sealcoat application. Two common aquatic species (fathead minnows and cladocerans) were exposed to the run-off. A 1:10 dilution of the run-off (which would be an approximation of conditions in moderately urban streams and ponds) caused a 10% mortality of the fathead minnow and a 60-100% mortality of the cladocerans, with the length of time after sealcoat application not making a difference.
There is much more to this study including looking at the effects of ultraviolet light, alternative sealcoat products, control treatments, and differing treatment lengths. However, based on the one part of the study given above, it is clear that coal-tar sealcoat is producing toxic rain run-off. Secondly, the sealcoat continues to cause the death of aquatic life 36 days after application (and perhaps further, but this was not included in the study). Application guidelines of coal-tar sealcoat state that the sealcoat should not be applied if rain is forecast within 24 hours to allow the product time to cure, but after this period the "risk level of runoff drops close to inconsequential." This study reveals these application guidelines are incorrect.
Readers are welcome to check out the study for themselves; it is technical but not impossible to read. It is also copyright free, so HRWC is able to give the journal article here.

Stoneflies! Cute AND educational!
Stonefly Search 2015 Wrap Up
A Surprisingly Pleasant January Day
You never know what a Michigan January will bring; last year HRWC was forced to cancel the Stonefly Search because of sub-zero temperatures and blizzard conditions. But this year, on January 17, 125 intrepid volunteers enjoyed bright sunshine and 30 degree weather as they spread across the Huron River watershed. They were in search of stoneflies, which are only found in clean and healthy streams. Everyone made it back safe, and not a single leaky wader was reported! Overall, it was a great success!
The results are in, and are given in this pdf report.
What We Found
1. Usually when we look at the data after an aquatic bug search, we see that some sites do better than normal, some sites do worse, but most sites stay the same. This was a strange year because while most sites stayed the same, several did worse than normal, and none did better. Overall, the count of stonefly families was down about 10% from our last sampling event (2013). There is no clear explanation for this; weather conditions were great and the ice wasn't any thicker than other year. We will start to be concerned if we continue to see this happen year after year. However, there is always natural variation in the data and collecting and this year will likely not be the start of a downward trend in terms of the overall sampling.
2. That being said, there are specific locations that have shown long-term degradation. For example, Honey Creek in Ann Arbor. The team searching for stoneflies in Honey Creek at Wagner were unable to find stoneflies. This site has been sampled 14 times since 1995, and this is the first time that stoneflies could not be found. This is a site with lots of turbulent highly oxygenated water and should be a great place for stoneflies. Taken in isolation, the absence of the stoneflies at Wagner Road would not be concerning given that this is a single sample. However, two upstream Honey Creek Adopt-a-Stream sites used to have stoneflies but haven't in years. Stoneflies haven't been seen in Honey Creek at Jackson Road since 2008; they haven't been at Honey Creek at Pratt Road since 2003. All of the pieces combined indicates that the overall quality of Honey Creek is degrading over the last decade.
3. Davis Creek at Pontiac Trail is another location where the stonefly population has dropped over time. This change is concerning because it happened slowly over the last ten years and our spring and fall samples show a very similar pattern. In the early 2000s we regularly found one or two stonefly families at the creek, but they started to drop off and now have not been found since 2009.
4. All this doom and gloom needs to be put in perspective, though. Remember, most of the sites we visited were as healthy as ever. Of the 61 Adopt-a-Stream sites that HRWC uses to assess the overall water quality of the watershed, stoneflies are regularly found at 38 of them. In other words, 62% of our watershed has very high water quality and habitat. This agrees with recent analyses of other HRWC data, showing that 66% of the watershed was good to very high quality, 28% was fair to good, and 7% was highly impacted (2014 State of the Huron)
Next on the horizon!
Interested in doing more with our macroinvertebrate searches? Think about becoming a trained leader or collector by coming to the next training on March 29. This is an extremely important job because every team needs both a trained leader and collector, and we often do not have enough to meet the demand. Sign up for the training!

Macroinvertebrate sampling on the Huron River and its creeks
Thanks to 128 volunteers who contributed approximately 650 volunteer hours, the October 2014 River Roundup was a great success! The weather was a little dreary and chilly for our volunteers as they split into 24 teams and traveled to 48 different creek and river locations across the Huron River Watershed to assess the aquatic benthic macroinvertebrate community. This study is one of the most effective ways that HRWC has to understand how the water quality of the river and creeks may be changing. From the data collected at this semi-annual event, we are able to keep abreast of the health of our waterways throughout the watershed. You can see all the results in October 14 River Roundup Report.
Also, in case you missed it, on November 13 the HRWC staff presented our data summaries of 2014 to a packed in crowd. Jason discussed the broadening of HRWC's volunteers and volunteer programming. I walked through a case study showing how our data and volunteer programming can be used to investigate pollution problems, and Ric explained how box and whisker graphs can show us water quality data. For those who couldn't make it, here's a PDF of the presentation. Let us know if you have any questions!
Current Watershed Health
In a nutshell, the health of the watershed as judged by our macroinvertebrate sampling is holding steady. Of the 62 sites that we monitor to judge this, 28 sites have had no statistically significant changes over time, and 6 sites are too new to make this judgment.
Fourteen sites are declining, and these include locations on Chilson Creek, Davis Creek, east branch of Fleming Creek, Norton Creek, and South Ore Creek. Eight of the declining sites are in Livingston County, two are in Washtenaw, and three are in Oakland.
Fourteen sites are significantly improving. Twelve of the improving sites are in Washtenaw County, including Boyden Creek, Horseshoe Creek, the main and west branches of Fleming Creek, Huron Creek, the Huron River in Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti, Malletts Creek, and several places on Mill Creek. One site is improving in Livingston County (Mann Creek at Van Amberg Road), and 1 site is improving in Wayne County (Woods Creek at the Lower Huron Metropark).
I've become a big fan of Arms Creek over the couple of years as I have learned more and more about it. While possessing a rather mucky stream bed, the water is cold and heavily influenced by groundwater, the riparian zone is thick and undisturbed in many parts, and there is plenty of woody debris in the water. In fact, part of Arms Creek is actually in a Natural River Zone. Also, many many years ago, the DNR stocked trout in Arms Creek because of the cold water temperature, which is a very rare thing for southeast Michigan. However, despite all of these great properties, the insect community has only ever been mediocre (probably due to the fine sand and muck dominating the streambed).
Therefore I was very excited to see this fall's sample was the best ever collected there since sampling started in 1994. Sixteen total insect families were found, with five of those members of the mayfly and caddisfly families, and 3 of the families classified as "sensitive". Sensitive families are those that are first to disappear in disturbed or polluted conditions. Finding three sensitive families is very good and usually only our best River Roundup sites have that many.
I have lowlighted Davis Creek before in this results blog, but the really poor results from this Roundup have prompted me to look into the issue again. Both the Doane Road and Pontiac Trail sites had very poor macroinvertebrate samples; the worst seen in many years at both of these sites. Both of these sites are on the main branch of Davis Creek, upstream from Sandy Bottom and Ten Mile Lake, on the outskirts of South Lyon.
To investigate the issue, I looked at the habitat data collected by our volunteers in the summer. Both locations have good to excellent habitat, with good diversity of substrate, good riparian zones, and plenty of instream woody debris. Furthermore, summer creekwalkers also explored two sections of this creek and also reported finding good habitat throughout.
Therefore, it is probable that there is something dissolved in the water, rather than poor habitat, that is reducing the macroinvertebrate diversity and abundance. Our volunteers regularly take water samples during the River Roundup that we analyze for conductivity (a proxy for total dissolved solids, which includes inorganic or organic substances, naturally found and pollutants). I plotted out conductivity over time and did indeed notice an increase of conductivity since 1994. Conductivity is going up; bugs are going down. A correlation like this does not prove anything especially given the variability in the data, but it is an interesting clue.
As a followup, it could be useful to get a water analysis to determine the exact chemical constituents of Davis Creek. We may be dealing with herbicides or pesticides, or perhaps excessive chloride (from water softeners). There is also more of the creek to explore on foot, as there are some light industrial and residential areas that we have not visited yet.
What's next?
Do you consider yourself a Michigander, or aspire to be one? Then you should brave the cold and join the Winter Stonefly Search on January 17. It is like the River Roundup, only much snowier. You can register for the event here.
Underwater Mussel Shenanigans
While doing a habitat assessment on the Huron River, I was lucky enough to see a pocketbook mussel in the process of attracting a fish host and managed to get some pictures and a video of it.
Please excuse the poor video quality- it looks like a bubble got trapped on our underwater camera lens! But you can make it out. The mussel is buried in the sediment, positioned so that its opening is facing up. The mussel is extending a part of its mantle into the current to use it in its reproduction process.
Mussels reproduce by releasing their glochidia (microscopic larvae) in the presence of fish. The glochidia latch onto the fish's gills and fins where they dwell for days or weeks, depending on the species and water conditions. During this time the glochidia develop into microscopic juveniles and eventually drop off the fish. If they land in a suitable place, they can create a new mussel bed.
Therefore, since fish are integral to a mussel's life cycle, the mussels have developed ways to get a fish's attention. By extending the colorful mantel into the current, the mussel acts like an angler's fish lure! When a fish gets closer- the mussel shoots out the glochidia!
Special acknowledgments go to Ryan and Marty of ECT, for experiencing this really cool find with me.

Arizona Midday | Update with Color for Fall
Fall doesn't have to be all black and gray, especially when the season's bold hues like marsala (2015 color of the year!), olive and blush are at the top of the must-have color list. On NBC Channel 12's Arizona Midday, Angela has these three haute colors in the latest styles and trends for the season from Nordstrom. ...Read more.
Arizona Midday | Designer Shoe Looks for Less
There's nothing like a beautiful pair of shoes to give us confidence and put a runway-model-jaunt in our step. Of course, every season our favorite designers launch an array of hard-to-resist "it" shoes -- we want them all. At least most of them. Of course, our practical side and budget force us to hone in on our favorites because we still have to buy things like groceries and pay for our kid's piano lessons. Good news! We found a number of designer shoe look-a-likes or "inspired by" styles and some are really hard to tell apart from the expensive designer versions! Angela shows us how to get the designer looks for less ...Read more.
Angela's Lab | Polished in Purple
While the foundation of my wardrobe may be built on black and navy, the bold colors of fall (think amethyst, wine and teal) are what I head for to flatter my face for photos and special events. I especially love this vibrant purple top and how it compliments my fringe skirt. And, how perfect are these subtly-multi-colored heels, plus delicate drop earrings and edgy chain necklace to complete the look. ...Read more.

Angela's Lab | Spring Trends I Love from NY Fashion Week
Even though I just started ordering Pumpkin Spice Lattes and my boots came out from hiding this week, my mind was focused on Spring 2016 as designers debuted their collections during the biannual, fashionable frenzy that is New York Fashion Week. I particularly loved seeing the ultra feminine look, including ruffles, off-the-shoulder tops and pink, as well as the relaxed menswear, meaning slouchy trousers and deconstructed pinstripes. The '70s influence is still going strong in the form of all things artsy, from fringe and tie-dye to crochet and embroidery. Although the boho look is overall more chic than folksy this ...Read more.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 188.8.131.52
Forum Moderators: goodroi
User-agent: Mediapartners-Google*
Disallow: /cgi-bin/
(with many more directories disallowed).
In this syntax, does the star at the end of the user-agent line still disallow all other robots from the following directories?
Does adding the "Mediapartners-Google" bit allow that robot anything, or specifically disallow the robot from the following directories?
The old webmaster seems to think this allows google more access, but I've never encountered that syntax before and just want to be sure.
Thank You!
If you want to exclude all bots from that list of directories, then you simply need:
User-agent: *
Disallow: /cgi-bin/
I'm still looking for clarification, though, on the * that appears in the line "User-agent: Mediapartners-Google*"
Does that star add all the other bots to the disallows? If not, what service does it provide in this syntax?

There are some hot women that get turned on by doing good deeds. Any guy would consider it philanthropy to be fucked by this sexy nurse.
It turns out that the babe specializes in amputee sex and nothing gets her hotter than a war veteran- it doesn't matter that the honey wasn't even alive during whatever war it was that this geezer lost his leg.
The couple is so turned on that the amputee forgets to lock the wheels on his chair. They really go for a ride during this amputee sex video!

Tropers: Afaz
Your standard procedure fanboi, often of the yaoi variety, afaz is an overly energetic geek with far too much free time and far too few friends. Despite the energy, he's considered a Grumpy Bear by most. Tends to have brutal moodswings, thus all of the contradictory tropes listed, and spends a good bit of time in the Ineffectual Loner zone, with his Jerkass Façade and multiple Berserk Buttons. Likes to fancy himself a Jerk with a Heart of Jerk or Magnificent Bastard, but that's mostly because he can't accept that he's just not all that cool and is living in his own little world. Rarely makes interesting edits, instead preferring to read those of others and only change them if they're very, very wrong. Also has a vagina.
afaz provides examples of:
- All Gays Are Promiscuous
- Annoying Younger Sibling
- Ax-Crazy: The mood swings really make him nice and pleasant.
- Berserk Button: Don't. Insult. Homosexuals.
- Bifauxnen
- Brilliant but Lazy
- Butt Monkey
- Chivalrous Pervert
- Combat Pragmatist
- Crouching Scholar Hidden Badass
- Deadpan Snarker
- Geek
- Grumpy Bear
- Ineffectual Loner
- I Want to Be a Real Man: A penis would be a nice start.
- Jerk Ass: I said he was energetic, not a people person.
- Keet: SOMUCHENERGYOHMYGOD.
- Manipulative Bastard: He tries.
- Narcissist
- One of the Boys
- Pintsized Powerhouse
- So Bad It's Good
- The Napoleon
- The Slacker
- Wholesome Crossdresser

Yesterday it rained cats and dogs at the base. Which was probably lucky for me because Dee's attention span has been growing short (yeah already – sigh). But this girl LOVES the rain and everything to do with it, which is lucky for us because both places we live (PDX and Ya'an) are famous for the amount of yearly rain they receive.
So what did we do while the pandas huddled inside out of the rain and no behaviors were occurring? Well . . . we jumped in puddles, rolled rocks down panda statues, tromped around the base in Dees' favorite rain boots (we she rocks by the way!), and, you guessed it, jumped in more puddles.
She's been asking the keepers to feed the panda bears for a few days now but they've been reluctant because they don't want her near them (I'm not sure how they say "no" to that face but maybe I can learn something from them). Who knew that we'd make her just as happy letting her toss some bamboo shoots into an empty cage?
It completely topped off her day and she contentedly fell asleep on the bus ride home. I hope you all had a lovely day as well (rain or shine!)
P.S. Happy Friday the 13th

September 2015
This hiking tour was fantastic. Our guide Brad was so knowledgeable and helpful for this difficult hike. The company gives you snacks for the trip and gets you rain gear and equipment so all you need is good hiking boots and maybe some gloves if its cold. The ice cave was truly a surreal experience and won't be open for many more years because the glacier is receding. Book this trip while you still can!
July 2015
It was best adventure we did on out Alaska trip.
Hike was little bit challenging with beautiful views and beautiful nature, constantly changing trail.
Hiking boots recommended!
July 2015
Great great great, its is hard and lots of up and down but at the end you feel happy that you did it.
September 2014
Great experience!
July 2014
Amazing Experience and Guides!
Brad went above and beyond to ensure everyone enjoyed the hike to the glacier and that we were safe while on it. My sister said she could never have made the full hike without him as a guide.
imply awesome experience with my 12-year old daughter and guide Sam. Brisk and tough 1.5 hour hike followed by gearing up for the Glacier and capped off with some ice cave spelunking. Tougher vertical climb up from the Glacier getting back. All in a tough 7-hour day, but well worth the effort. The quicker you tough it out to the Glacier, the better the experience. Thanks Sam - an experience we'll never forget. Recommend for those up to testing their limits.

This tour was amazing!
August 2013
We were fortunate enough to schedule this excursion prior to leaving for our cruise. Boy are we ever so happy we did. Simply put this excursion was well worth every minute and beyond description. We were hoping for a nice excursion where we would hike, climb and trek to and on the glacier as advertized and we were not disappointed. As a matter of fact we were surprised to the extent of time we spent on the glacier. Not only did we hike through the forest, climb bedrock, manage switchbacks, trek on the glacier but we also got to explore underneath the glacier and go into the ice caves. What an amazing sight it was walking into the ice caves. Words cannot describe the beauty, the colors and the feeling you get when you enter and walk into the ice cave.
Our guide Brad was stellar. Not only is he a trained guide he is full of local infromation, knowledge and facts of the area and glaciers and supportive of the entire group. It is obvious why Brad is a guide. He took us to areas we would never have thought we would get to see. This guy ROCKED.
Hiking and treking on top of the glacier is an experience everyone should do once in their life. Add to that going into the ice caves and you have the best excursion ever. No doubt about it. We took several excursion during our week in ALASKA and this was by far the best.
July 2013
This was worth every penny! The guides treated this as more than just a job- you would have thought it was their own business. We had a good, scenic hike to the glacier, and then once one the glacier it was truly unique. I'm in my mid 30's and decent shape, and was not exhausted at the end. You need to come prepared as the brochure recommends. I had great weather on my trip but it would be much more challenging in the rain. Check the forecast even though they bring gear to cover you. Pictures will not do this amazing trip justice. I cannot be more in favor of this trip than this, and I am a tough judge!
July 2013
Absolutely amazing! We were very fortunate that the weather was great with lots of sunshine and no rain. The trek to the glacier was formidable but not outrageously difficult. I would recommend anyone visiting Juneau to check this tour out, it was the highlight of my trip.
