[quote fish_fear_me2]Hmmm, Hike up hill in deep snow....drill a hole by hand through five and half feet of Ice....I would be in the hospital...great to be young... good on ya![/quote]
An awesome trip it was. The next adventure will be even more beautiful, and a much longer hike....but the ice needs to start shrinking first. Hard to believe people complain about hand drilling through 10 inches of ice.....try hand drilling 3 holes through 67.5 inches of ice! Thats 202.5 inches of ice. My arms are sore today from that one!
In the summer I am sure gonna miss skiing back down! Although I am sure the colors will make up for that! Here is a shot I got 2 years ago at that lake.
