A few hundred people show up. Archie, he owns the VC, sells poor Gary pizzas out at the skips. Ain't capitalism great!<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=COWZCyscAmg<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZrPwktoPBAo<br /><br />And a few years ago they were even pulling people across on a snowboard with a rope tied onto the sled.<br /><br />I just watch, too many people and traffic on the water to chance it. I'll stick to the Oak Narrows or under the bridge. <br />(My buddy went down in 10' of water under the bridge last year. He started from zero at the very edge of the ice and used too much throttle and went more straight up than forward... then straight down since he wasn't going forward... he was OK.)<br /><br />Usually ice in northern MN is a safe 6" by the 15th... I was hoping for an early start to the season, for obvious reasons.K-Rodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02931192109694020413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6695120232450962671.post-16239210101654981712009-12-03T05:53:17.821-06:002009-12-03T05:53:17.821-06:00Given the beautiful November we've just enjoye...Given the beautiful November we've just enjoyed, I'm quite happy to have lost this little contest.Mr. Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13920907647566015611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6695120232450962671.post-92021626362936312542009-12-02T23:03:36.400-06:002009-12-02T23:03:36.400-06:00After hearing all the stories of your savage winte...After hearing all the stories of your savage winter, I guessed to early in the year.RobertDWoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12468867977431697913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6695120232450962671.post-46262933429141222832009-12-02T21:52:07.927-06:002009-12-02T21:52:07.927-06:00i think i picked a later date, like febuary.
