that lady saved you, be thankful. many years ago when I had a hut off Oro 9th line, it turned very nasty and as we were packing up, along came a guy with his little boy, walking out ( 1.6 km) there was no way we let them go,
friendly persuation . . . we put the child inside as we prepped the hut and machines and off we we went. Very thankful on his part. It could have turned out different. That lake can be can be deadly. Some fog stories come to mind off Snake!
