Ice road update

I will be taking our truck off the ice either today or tomorrow as we have one bad spot just South West of our place.. Our road came in from 12 mile this year. The road from Queer dead ended on our side of the French Narrows Portage due to only 6” ice on this side. Got a call from our neighbor who docks at Northern Harbour advising customers they have been Mandated by Government to shut down deemed non essential.
I’m sure this is the first of many closures that will effect lake travel in these uncertain times.
We have our supplies in should be good till 2 Nd week May when lake opens.

Ministry Landing

I must apologize for the last posting. I did not have all the facts, we do not use Facebook and that is where the information was relayed to me about the Coney Island ice road closing.
Turns out it’s only the Coney Island ice road closing and not the ice road to Treaty.
Very sorry if I caused any concerns, this is how rumours get started !
I will be more diligent in future

Ministry Landing

We have heard a rumour-it’s on Facebook that Coney Island residents have been advised to remove there vehicles from ice roads by March 09. Apparently there are a couple posts in place and they plan to string a chain across blocking ice road access. I cannot confirm this as we have not travelled that route,  but have sent out feelers, will post anything I hear.

Frozen Dock

Here’s a picture of our dock all frozen in.

The ice has dropped but still all frozen under the dock.
