Double digits. Driving on the ice. No ice fishing.

 
Chequamegon Bay Lighthouse

  
We are standing just NW of the lighthouse over the shipping channel. The water depth below us is ~ 30 feet.


  

This  winter will probably be the last opportunity we will have to have this picture taken. If things go according to the current plan the Oredock will be torn down starting this spring.

  
We are standing NW of the Oredock. The water depth below our feet is probably 30 feet.

  
Ok, here is the explanation of the title "double digits". We have lived here since 1978... 31 years and I had to prove there was 24 + inches of ice below our feet...... before my wife finally drove on Chequamegon Bay. 31 and 24 double digits.

  
Here she comes off the bay after her first solo spin out on the ice.
  


Driving up onto the "landing". Finally ashore.


P.S. for those keeping count I did fish yesterday. Slow but caught smelt and perch. Had fresh fish with K & S for supper.

Hello J&B. Hope all is well in your world.
Yes a new truck to us. We bought it from our next door neighbor. It is my ice fishing truck.
