that's good!!! My late wife had 3 of them. the 1st was botched in our minds.  so the others were repairs, scar tissue and such. 30 years of pain and issues, but she was a trouper!!!

Did the usual Sunday paper run & stopped at both the landings on our end of Bowstring. The 1 on Co Rd 35 had 2 trucks in the lot, they had both walked out just to check conditions. When they came in they stopped to talk to a truck that came in behind us, then climbed in their trucks & left when we did along with 1 more who had just came off the ice. We suggested they try Trails End. The PA on that side  wasn't much better. Walked out 75-100 yards here after getting back & found a minimum of 2 - 4" of slush with 6-8" in spots. With the forcast for the week, I don't see things getting any better anytime soon. Thursday before we return to somewhat normal temps. Anybody who has plans to come up this way, I suggest they call ahead.

We made our usual Sunday road trip over to the store today. I made a comment to the person working about the ground must be starting to warm up because some of the secondary roads are looking soft. She said the weight restrictions for them starts the 1st part of next week, so the frost is going out. Stopped at the 2 landings on Bowstring too & the 1 on the north end looked better than I thought it would, that might change by the end of tomorrow though. The 1 closer to us is pretty much out of commission as it looked tough to even get a wheeler out there. The top 5 slabs of concrete were all heaved up anywhere from 1-3' & the pressure ridge that caused it must be 6-7' high on the north side of the ramp.

[glenn57]

a lot of snow in the woods yet? I,m really struggling with the idea of heading up there next weekend??????

[Gunner55]

With the forcast for rain, you should be OK, 57. I did notice in our travels yday that the 3 bridge(Portage, Inger, & Mosomo Pt) nearby have really opened up in the last week. Don't think I seen a wheelhouse on the road either. All the ones who looked to be fishin had wheelers & porties.

[merc]

Heading up tomorrow for one last ice trip. Then time to get the boat ready!!     

[Gunner55]

I watched a couple guys come off the ice about 6 last night, on their wheeler with their pop up behind, over where you usually fish, merc. Don't think we saw a truck out there on Sunday either.

[merc]

I know Geigers shut their access down to truck traffic but is open for wheelers. Our plan is to go off the North access with a wheeler. Last trip there was a big ice heave there with a truck hung up on it. Hopefully the goose is standing on the ice so we know where the fish are.

[merc]

Hey, tell those guys to get out of my spot!!!   

[Gunner55]

That landing was a lot better than the 1 over here on Sunday. Most of the heave was gone, it was a little mushy but we've had a couple cold days early this week, so it should be good. I didn't see any geese out there though.
