I posted photos of Mrs.SA2's 1st meg of the new year on @RCW3D's Potomac River post from 1/20/18. Today, @MarcoSr, Mrs.SA2 and I wanted to try some hunting in the sun today instead of the feet freezing water and ice we had yesterday, so we went to a place we knew would have all day sun. When we put the boat in there wasn't any ice on our side of the river and only a little bit on the beach. Weather forecast was mid-60s and mostly sunny, perfect for late January in VA/MD. We motored to our planned starting point and started walking. Unfortunately, we immediately found lots (and I do mean A LOT) of footprints all over the beach. We kept on going and found a few teeth to start. Being out with MarcoSr is always a great time because I learn so much and have great conversations about stratigraphy. Here is my 1st tooth of the day, it's right at 1 inch, but ensured we didnt get skunked on the day. The rest of the day consisted of a few small teeth found plus a lot more footprints along the beach. At least it was sunny and warm. Didn't take an hour for us all to come out of a couple of layers of clothing. As we got a couple of hours past low tide, Mrs.SA2 did it again, and found her 2nd megalodon in as many days. She brushed a few leaves away from the gravel/cobble and there it was, in all its glory. I'm surprised she let me get a couple of photos before she grabbed it. Once we got a couple hours after low tide, the wind changed directions and picked up in intensity. Neither of these things were forecast and it started pushing the ice from the other side of the river, towards us. Didn't take long and there was large ice flow pinching us off from getting back to the ramp and I had to do some serious navigating to get around / through it. @RCW3D would have been proud as we once again plowed ice, and this ice was much thicker than yesterday. Some of it was 6-8 inches thick and obviously, we avoided that and chose our way through the thinner, slushy stuff. Here is a photo of the ice flow on our side of the river causing us to motor out to the middle to try and get around it. Good thing MarcoSr and Mrs.SA2 trust my boating skills. Here is the boat ramp after we pulled the boat out. Remember, there was NO ice there or anywhere near us when we launched. I busted up and pushed all the ice around the ramp with the boat so we could pull out. The dark spot in the middle of the right side of the photo is a full size duck blind that got ripped off its posts and carried away by the ice. Here is a photo of "our" side of the river after the ice flow moved in on us. The ramp is at the white building on the right side. (Don't worry folks, there are several other boat ramps within a 20 minute boat ride that we could tie up to and go get the truck and trailer.) Cheers, SA2 and Mrs.SA2
