A beautiful AND terrifying place.
Almost any day in any season there are opportunities to enjoy the beautiful local water front. It's a place where caution must always be practiced. The lapse of caution can bring on absolute moments of terror. See below.
Notice just to the left of the orange flags. That's a roof rack. This car broke through ice over the weekend. Both of the occupants escaped. The talk around town is that one (the driver) owes his life to his buddy who released the drivers seat belt and pull him from the submerged car. Nothing will ruin a good day of ice fishing like a swim. This is a lousy photo but it's as close as I chose to get.
