I don't know if this helps, but as far as a time, didn't someone say it snowed that morning in Denver and it's not snowing in the pic, if anyone knows how long it snowed on that day, maybe that would give us a round about time. I know, it's a long shot...

Here are links to three weather sites in the Denver area for December 3, 2005.

Two of the three sites show no snow for a few hours in the morning. The other shows no snow for the entire day. Go figure.

I've been trying to tag the swan ferry with a name, without much luck. This photo is the most detailed I could find. The English is almost readable, but not quite; I've been trying to decipher the katakana. Some of the symbols are similar to those on the building behind the Hippies in the jetty cap, so that building might be the ticket office. The first word might be Pu-ri-n-su "prince," but I'm not sure. This webpage describes the boat as a hovercraft, which seems...unlikely. Also, I came across the Yamanakako home page while surfing. There's no English page, which makes the interactive map useless (to me), and the webcam is no help, but it least it has some neat wallpaper.

This photo I snatched from Webshots titled it as King Swan. Not sure if that is the actual name or the picture taker just named it that.
"King Swan
Dear God. It even has a crown. I was considering to buy a ferry ride on but just couldnt do it."
