tjsa Posted March 20, 2010 Report Share Posted March 20, 2010 One up here in the great white north on Lac Des Mille Lac is currently sitting in 30-40 ft. of water. He was trying to get close to another truck sinking when his broke through. Everybody is OK though, but I don't envy his bill to recover his truck.

Dara Posted March 20, 2010 Report Share Posted March 20, 2010 (edited) That ice sure looks black for driving around on. Oh well...I guess I'm just a chicken when it comes to that sort of thing. We really don't have much ice for driving on around here to get used to it. I bet somebody ended up with a load in their pants when it started to go down Edited March 20, 2010 by Dara Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smitter Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 I don't think your insurance policy would cover something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishfield Posted March 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 (edited) I don't think your insurance policy would cover something like that. Actually.. it does. The ford was pulled out onto boards and driven away. The Dodge was pulled up the next day by Bartlets towing with their retrieval rack. Still a lot of ice there to hold the rack and truck.. http://www.ottertooth.com/Temagami/News/newsbriefs-101.htm#ma19 Edited March 22, 2010 by irishfield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishhunter Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 I could Tell last weekend that was going to happen . The ice road did not look good at all. We stayed off the ice road when we went up the lake. It was black and wet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irishfield Posted March 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 That one was shallow and close to shore.. but I bet 20 hours.. 10 guys.. equipment... I'd guess 25 grand or so. Bartlets use to list the salvage costs on their website.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
