Last of the ice

 The Bridge to Coney comes out today, and we will make our first trip to Town tomorrow April 21. There is still ice on our horizon to the South and small pans between here and town but navigable. The lake level has comets up another 1” with run off, but still low so be careful. When I took truck off ice March 17 Barepoint said we could not park out there as they were in a mini lockdown and the community was getting vaccinated over the coming weeks. Last week I was given permission to move truck over there when lake opened, yesterday I was told the Chief was waiting test results and considering another lockdown? At this point there is no 2 people safer than Debbie and I having gone 5 weeks without seeing anyone! And looks like we won’t be seeing any Manitoba people for a month. Debbie phoned OPP yesterday and was told they are not stopping vehicles heading in Manitoba,just the vehicles entering Ontario. There is a list of exemptions on web and unfortunately coming out to your summer homes is not one them. I’ll rent out my Ontario plates to highest bidder LOL. Still waiting the arrival of the Loons, expect to hear their call any day now that the North winds have dropped. Stay Safe be careful, this will be last post till fall when we start cycle all over again. If anyone has questions about lake they can text me at 1 (807) 466-1891 Rick
