We heard there was some snow on the lake. Just wondering if that has affected travel on the NE arm. Hoping to make it up for the new year. |

I hear we got a partial melt down.. hopefully enough to stiffen everything up. Wife and I almost left our 500 and portable hut out by the axe narrows for lake structure on the 5th! Tough gal.. slush smashing off the back of her head and instantly freezing there! |
