Ice-in Watch 2007-2008

It went great, we went over, started the heat, then went out snowmobiling. I have never been to the lake during the winter, so this was an incredible experience. Overnight it was a little cold, but that is why we have blankets.

The ice was fine, it was very solid everywhere we went.

I crossed over to our camp on the South end of Bear Island Saturday and the weather/ice was perfect. I just walked over with the dog without any issues. In terms of heat our cottage is seasonal for everbody but me so it has no insulation and just a wood burning stove. I close off the room with the stove and it keeps the place warm enough to enjoy a weekend on the island. Everything from Mark down towards governors was solid again without slush. Thick enough for sleds but I would not take a truck out there.
