I have an ice report from about 5 miles from hamilton rez. ITs 5.5 inches, top inch is white the rest is nice and black. That was about 20' from shore in 8' of water. Its a bit on the slippery side too. Added another crack to my ass on the second step.

Everything is better on the rocks.

hour and a 1/2 ride for me....need to be on the road by 5........trust me, she is NOT a morning person.

besides they are also older and aren't in the "Hanging with Dad is the Best" mode anymore.....only one that greets me at the door when I come home now is the Cat

She's 12 and he'll be 15 in 2 weeks....goes by fast....enjoy it while you can.

Raven: that's a riot... he'll get a kick out of that thanks

As far as kids entering, Rick I sent you a pm. But if it is within the rules I figured a plug from each kid as an entry fee, no special consideration / category / prize needed.

Rules, rules, rules...maybe next year I should make it "Chinese Downhill" style, be a lot more fun.

Can't wait to see everybody, getting antsy!

Later,
Rick

OOH, now there's a thought. Chris, you must definately be planning to attend now.

Hemdukas, I hear there was 5.5 inches on Tuesday, guessing that with the next cold snap we should be around 7".
