DRIFTER_016 Posted May 11, 2014 Report Posted May 11, 2014 Seems it's still pretty hard. So I managed to get out to my cabin property with another load of materials. Even my GPS knows I'm driving on ice. How does it know? The lake was in pretty good condition with only a couple of sketchy areas. For those of you you think Honda's are only good for taking the kids to soccer practice and picking up groceries, they are pretty capable with decent tires and the center locking differential engaged. She walked right up the rocks no problem.
DRIFTER_016 Posted May 11, 2014 Author Report Posted May 11, 2014 Awesome... Cept fer the honda part Last time I was in Alaska I pulled out a stuck suburban on the beach.
Joey Posted May 11, 2014 Report Posted May 11, 2014 How thick do you think the ice is? Wonder how long before ice out up there!!
DRIFTER_016 Posted May 11, 2014 Author Report Posted May 11, 2014 2 weeks ago it was about 5 1/2 feet!!! Here's a pic of my buddy out fishin' then. Still has to be 4 feet I would think.

Musky or Specks Posted May 11, 2014 Report Posted May 11, 2014 Just when I begin to envy your awesome outdoor situation I remember OH yeah the winters bbrrrrrhhhhh. Your going to have a great time building and using that cabin. Just hope you don't John Hornby the whole thing.
DRIFTER_016 Posted May 11, 2014 Author Report Posted May 11, 2014 Do you think you will get most of your materials in before ice melt? Nope. Still waiting on delivery of my dock hardware and floats and won't be ordering subflooring and other materials to do the foundation and 1st floor deck until summer. Just hope you don't John Hornby the whole thing.
DRIFTER_016 Posted May 11, 2014 Author Report Posted May 11, 2014 Here's another good shot. My buddy setting his net a few days ago. He is still standing on 2 feet of ice!!!!
