Spring

Made last snowmobile/quad trip yesterday as the ice on the South side of the French Narrows Portage is no longer safe! It has melted away from shore about 5' and lots of holes. The travel on North side is still okay.There has to be more than 100 Geese at the Narrows as well as 12 Pelicans,saw bumble bee yesterday as well as a butterfly and Turkey Vulcher.the snow in the bush appears to have shrunk enough that this afternoon before the rain arrives we are going to try and walk around the Island for first time this Spring.There is a hole starting to open up at the corner of our dock,and when you walk out onto ice on our South side landing the water is moving up and down and holes big enough to get a booter ! I still cannot bring up pictures to post?? If anyone wants to see the slow melting process you can email me and I could forward pictures until we get this figured out?

That is encouraging news. Hopefully the weather cooperates a bit more and viola ice will be off and we can get out.

Thanks..
