Spring Thaw


Took this picture of French Narrows (Dorian Island foreground)from 500' heading South.There were 12 geese swimming in open water.
Quad travel has come to an early end down here,there is a huge crack in ice cutting across our ice road from Queer towards French Narrows.And too much open water between Queer and Pipestone. The open water from the Elbow has almost reached SE tip Queer.The couple of cold nights last week caused pressure ridges to form on entire lake,the ice was so loud it woke us during the night.
There were a lot of people out fishing on North side of Scotty's.
The only new wildlife sighting was March 24th we had 4 European Starlings in feeder--1st time ever.Our forecast has changed several times for next week but still calling for double digits for highs and above freezing for lows,with a mix of sun and rain-either way good for melting ice.
Best get those boats tuned up should be boating in April!!
