Not Your Typical Iceboat Jan. 22, 1999 2 miles south of downtown Des Moines After more than a month of being frozen out of the river, I found the ice melted back nearly to the shore at SE 14th St. I sat in the boat and scooted across the ice with some trepidation, only to find the water just a few inches deep as I launched out for a short paddle upstream. Better safe than sorry, though. |

Last Week, This was Nothing but Ice This was as close as I got to downtown on a cold, hazy, windy winter's day. I was thrilled to be out among the eagles, and the winter gear kept me warm and dry. |
