![]() Island Girl's April Ice Out Tour 2005 - Part 1 Each April I take pictures of the lake to compare yearly ice conditions. I started a few years ago just at the town docks at Glendale in Gilford. Some years there was ice, another no ice, etc. Last year I expanded the tour to lots of pictures around the lake as far east as Moultonborough. It was great fun traipsing around places where I had never been. I posted some of those pictures in an album on Photopost. This year there are a lot of webcams and a lot of people taking pictures from various parts of the lake. This is the most photographed ice-out ever. The ice-out page at Snake Eyes is getting lots of daily visits. I am taking a different approach this year. I have pictures and video from the lake from the weekend of April 9-10, 2005. I hope you enjoy my tour. I certainly did. I hope to add Part 2 this weekend, unless the ice is out! I left my house just before 6am, Saturday morning to head to the lake. I got to Alton Bay just before 8 am to find many people fishing or watching the fishing. At the tip of the bay, several boats are in the water... all dressed up and no place to go. ![]() People were fishing and watching the fishing, canoeing and kayaking. ![]() The ice was out to the bandstand. Though chilly, the boaters did not seem to mind ![]() A couple of older viewers taking in the sun and the scenery from the Mt. Washington dock. ![]() The sun glimmers on the bay giving hope to an ice-out soon. ![]() Sandy Point cottages iced in, still. ![]() Heading up the bay, the Scenic overlook tells a different story. Ice everywhere. ![]() Looking the other way out to the open lake, a few melted spots, mostly gray and white ice. ![]() Little Mark Island and Moose Island behind. You can still see the tracks of vehicles of a few weeks ago ![]() ..........continued
