I went out today (Fri) and I would agree that ATV's are pushing it. From the left over tracks they made that I walked over, it wasn't something I'd do personally! [

Fishing was slow for all those I talked to, but I wouldn't call what I did today fishing, para sailing with hooks would be more like it!!!! [laugh] The slush had melted and the top of the ice was water, and it was as slick as glass in spots. And when the wind kicked up... well... I hope I didn't lose too much gear in the buckets that blew all the way to the north shore... [crazy] My sled had at LEAST 30 lbs of gear in it and gusts had me chasing that as well. That's when we tried to take the hut down and the rings bent on the exterior ropes and hit my son and knocked him completely over. His butt was 2.5 feet in the air and his legs were above that! I hate to think what would have happened had I not been successful in diving for the rope. We were soaked all the way thru after being drug for 10 yards in the water hanging on to it.
Once it started raining, I decided I'd had enough fun for the day. At the time - I wished I'd stayed home. But in hindsight, it's too bad those there didn't get our folly on film. I bet we could have won $$ on some "funny things caught on film show! [

I think I'm cured for going out again till the weather stabilizes. [cool]
