Rob, here's a better shot. It's all about ice at this time of the year.
Even on the local lake, Gull Lake. We've been plowing the snow off
the lake ice to create an ice skating rink. The bartender at the Tiger Bar
just requested a curling lane as well.
A
And some locals are concerned about walking/skating on the lake here, say what !

is there a few bucks to be made on the pool ? Count me IN (so to speak)
I was just out at the Friendly Gopher Ice Rink (8:30 pm) playing hockey by moon light, listening
to the classical station on my truck park out there. Good stuff here on the eastside.
Also, ice related, was in LVC yesterday. We snow shoed in and as we came around the corner,
I just about shat myself, the Bard Harrington was in. We adjusted plans, and climbed
Hob Nail Boots, super duper ! Then over to the Main Wall ; we did Heel Toe, also in great shape, then Spiral Staircase.
Here is the link to the online topo. Brian Biega has done a good job on this.

something has certainly happened in LVC, as the ice was somewhat spotty when I left for
New Hampshire, and very cool to return to good ice conditions at
Horsetail Falls
Roadside
Chouinard, Main and now Bard Harrington
and on Gull Lake at the Friendly Gopher Ice Rink.
yipee
