Well it has arrived...the last ice crossing for 2008! Thank you Lord! There was SOOOO much water & slush on the ice! :shock: :shock:
It was 50F the whole trip, so I would say it is safe to assume that spring had FINALLY arrived! YAHOO! Back to the BUG season soon, matter of fact I saw my very first mosquito this morning!
Here's some pictures I took... It was pretty nerve wracking to say the least!
I forgot my life jacket...hope the puddles aren't too deep...
Onto the Ice:
Big puddles!
New meaning for SLUSH!!
Nother big puddle:
Don't look DOWN! :lol: :lol:
I have no words that will describe the feeling of this crossing...white knuckle all the way! Wonder what's under that water??? Hopefully NOT a big whole! The river is over 100 ft deep here...we tease the newbies this time of year...tell 'em to do up seatbelts tight....easier to find the bodies! :wink: :wink:
Truthfully, they wouldn't allow us out there if it wasn't safe to cross, there was a sonar truck out on the road when I went over it...so I KNEW it was ok! It's just NOT my favorite time of year!
