The ice roads are all in,Start at ministry landing,over Treaty,jump over Mud Portage through Rocky Narrows,down East side of Scotty's,over Strawberry Portage.The road heads to the N.W. corner of Queer,follow Queer all way around to the east side , about the middle of Queer is were you turn left[doen't take the first branch road as this one goes to Pipestone and Andrew bays] The road archs and heads straight to the group of camps on East Allie passing Mac island. My road goes over Portage,you guys turn left and your HOME.I plowed you out today,will work something out with Leonard ? Like I said we paid Sharon [cell # 467 7684] $225.00 Instead of paying me it would be best to pay her.

Wheew....Made It Through Another One !!!

Here's hoping you've all had a wonderful Christmas Holiday these past few days and looking forward to the upcoming NEW YEAR........Jan, Angela (Just Back from Thailand) & I can hardly wait to get out on the lake and enjoy this special time of year.
Gotta Go ......and make up for missing out on those Boxing Day Sales ...(was just to sick to move off the couch yesterday).....Looking at getting a New Generator, "Santa-Baby" is tired of watching me start the old one for Margaritas and has provided the "Means" to procure a brand new one. Maybe ,I'll look up Frank and see where he got his ???
Cheers
Bob

Hi.
Not sure what Leonard is Doing as far as plowing?? Was flying the other day and road goes over 12 mile. We may be back to plan "A" ?? I plowed over to your places today through the long skinny bay, just in and out to check conditions.
[found 2 deer carcasses that the wolves took down] Peter has 9" of ice in front of dock. Bob has 12" in front of dock. The ice in middle of channel is 15"
thick.Guy if you want i can plow over the portage on that side and to your dock ?? For now they are using the ministry landing and going over Treaty Isl.
Conditions have improved, today was awesome , clear, calm, -3.5c . I will plow out your drive ways [docks] this week end. Or sooner if your coming down?
Bob let me know how much pipe you bought and i will subtract this from your order. The pick up point is:
Brunswicksteel
125 Bismark St.
wpg. mb.
224 1472
All orders will be billed seperate in each of your names, i will give you the total weight and cost when ready for pick up.Any problems the salesperson is Peter Friesen

north west angle

The north west angle is 50 km from our part of the lake, and the water is very shallow there also. but the info on ice thickest safety was great. last year we ever really had that much ice, maybe 18" at the most. soooo with this great warm weather this road out to our place could be a while yet??? but we are enjoying this while it lasts ,,, it must be wonderful with this weather at the lake ,,, pt
