WOW  What a beautiful place and a great site to see.  I could run down there and give that ice a big ol'  :-*.  Is that place off a main road or is it back in a ways.  I love those places where its quiet and you dont have a bunch of traffic drivin by all time.

That is one of our pothole lakes that is at low elevation and usually freezes up first. It is right beside a major highway. It is usually plowed but not straight down the hill directly in front of picture but the road comes in more from the left.

Well I was up across the state line today TGF.  We have a hole that kinda resembles yours.  Its about a mile back into this canyon and your pics kinda reminded me of there. With all the ponderosa pines and such.  Only  our temps here were near 80's :'(   There was no snow and dang sure wasn't any ICE.  But it's sucha neat place, I just like to go there once in a while.  Good for the soul kinda place :)

Looks like a great place to jump a trophy mule buck and chase a few coyotes !

I am ready....

I had the lawn service blow out my sprinkler system and the back flow valve was froze.

Checked the garden pond and it was frozen over.  I guess it is time to put the heater in the pond to keep the gold fish alive.

The travel trailer is being winterized this weekend and put into storeage so my wheeled fish house can be brought home.  (This will be my dog house until I can pull it onto the lake)

The earliest I have been out Ice Fishing is the second weekend in November, the time is near.


You've fished on the second weekend in November...in Minnesota?  What year was that?

We are usually ice fishing by Thanksgiving on smaller sandhill lakes around here. Close to 80 today but we had some ice 3 days ago. Won't be long now. :)

The temp is 79 right now get to 81 this afternoon.  high of 56 tomorrow and ten days of below freezing night time temps. It will help our cause,  but we'll probly be lucky to make it by thanksgiving.  Wouldn't be happier though if we were on by then.
