Just took a walk down to Ellacoya and all the ice in my above pics is completely gone...

I Was surprised to see that the town / state blocked access to the lake from the Elacoya ramp by plowing a huge wall of snow to not allow access 200 yds from the lake! I have never seen this done before as the parking area is very close to the lake at this ramp. Snowmobilers, cross country skiers, ice sail boats, ice fishermen, and anyone else who enjoys winter ice sports at this PUBLIC ramp is now limited! Your tax dollars at work!!....NOT! There is no logical reasoning for doing this... There were a couple of ice divers there who did not understand why the town/ state would do this...

My Polaris Ranger has plow...

Enjoy!
