Re: Last weekend's icy trip
Those are some really nice pix Mr Kayaker. But YiKeS!!! I'm feeling nervous looking at you standing on an icy river!!
I really miss cold-country.

Re: Last weekend's icy trip
Thanks for the compliments on the pics, but that ain't me!
It was pretty freaky walkin' around out there. I'd guess it was 3" thick. Some of the ice was so clear you could see the bottom. We were careful and the water across that section of river was only about 3 feet deep.

Is that a friend or just some random person?
I've walked on frozen lakes when we lived in NH.... about 100 years ago. It's creepy when you hear weird sounds from the ice.

Re: Last weekend's icy trip
When I was living in NH, people drove out on the lakes up there all the time. You wouldn't catch me doing it. Supposedly, there's over 100 cars at the bottom of Lake Sunapee alone.
