I 2nd WBB's vote and would not drive my truck out there this season. No sled issues that I've heard of though.

I know that last year I got there (the drive on at the Derby trailer) before sunrise on Sat morning, and it was already blocked off with big town saw horses. Of course that was a no brainer, as the ice did not fom at the shorline. Rotary has a disclaimer on the entry form, about driving on the ice, but those things don't usually hold up in court. I guess I'll just sit and watch the first few dare devils, if the drive on is open......

Boulder:

I'm glad to see you are planning to play it safe. I don't want to read about you in the paper (unless it is to read that you won the tourney!). Have fun with your family and friends and if you get a chance, please post a few photos.

Here's the official announcement from the derby website.

TOWN OF MEREDITH RAMP

The vehicle access ramp onto Lake Winnipesaukee (located near the Derby Headquarters trailer at Hesky Park) will be open by the Town of Meredith from 5pm to 8am, Saturday February 9, and Sunday, February 10. Vehicle access is unavailable during the day from 8am to 5pm.

I don't know how old the announcement is.

We were out in Winter Harbor today and it wasnt too bad. A little slush underneath the new snow but it was ridable. We had to go pick up the other shack which was sitting off of Long Island and it was really bad out there. Got the sleds stuck twice in the slush. Was able to get everything back to shore though, maybe some of this cold the next 2 days will harden things up a little.

Had a fun day riding today though
