I was told by the owner, guitar playing -singer @ Rolands Table in 1998 (after he has a few drinks @ nite :db:) . That once in about every 10 yr's the ice freezes enough to ride out + under the "Rock" on a sled. Nice pic

Becareful on the ice. Once it starts "working" it won't be long until you have big holes.

We don't need you joining the Polar Bear Club!

Great Pics as always!

Happy Easter to you too Jean-guy!!

It's not an 'if I return' its a 'when I return' and you must know I will have my service all up to date on my 4 wheeler and maybe even put a little extra special tow strap in for you so you won't get your feet wet putting my short one on your bike. I don't think you will want to get all wet like last year lol.

PS...hopefully you will find some rain so we can have something more challenging like we do here in Ontario!

WOWSA!! Boss? Pencil and Ipad? I will have to come back to this later....It won't be pretty if I reply right now.

And its not really fair as you are probably still sleeping and by the time I finish working this morning you will need your first nap!

I have some caution tape I will send you!
