“With no place to go” the tripod clock continues to tick, the Nenana Ic e Classic reports. The trip, that tipped over earlier this week, tipped over completely on Thursday.

But, while the tripod was down and it looked as if this year’s classic was coming to a close, ice from upriver, moved the ice where the tripod sat closer to shore. The ice continued moving shoreward, and soon the tripod was jammed near the shore with a solid sheet of ice barring any further movement downstream.

Viewers watching the cam on the Nenana Ice Classic site cannot see the tripod any longer. The tripod has moved out of the view  of the camera, but has only moved fifty of the necessary 100 feet that it needs to move to trip the clock to end the contest.

The Ice Classic office says that the tripod may move in the next day, or it may remain where it is at for another week.

With this latest development, the chances of an early clock trip is gradually diminishing.
