2nd hand report a crack opened up out 4 miles out today.  About 2 foot across. Quads will need planks if this is true and continues to work.

Big blow due Tuesday out of the South and need to see what it does to the crack that has opened up.
Winds look favorable for Friday.

I went out of Meinke (spelling?) on Sunday and saw Rangers out there.  However, like Joelrz stated, no such thing as safe ice.  Be careful and respect the big water.
That's some tasty iced tea.

I'm suprised you didn't catch it the first time around. Summer tour will be out in the next couple of weeks, signs are pointing to another fest at watkins aug 21-23 i'm there. I went to SBIX great fest grounds.
