We all know how thin the ice is in southern Maine, but how about Moosehead. Well, my friend who
lives in Greenville and has a camp on Sugar island, told me that today, he decided to walk out to the
camp believing there was plenty of ice. He anticipate 20 inches anyway between Lilly bay state park
and his camp on Sugar isl. He walked slowly stomping and checking the ice with a stick without a
reaction, then when he got out near the channel, down he went. He managed to get his arms out
and stop from going completely through. On his first attempt to get out it didn't happen, but on
his second, he managed to roll onto the ice. He quickly beat feet out of there back to his truck in
the park. He is ok, but this scared him. I think he is a lucky boy. Just show how you can feel the
ice is safe, but it isn't.
