Mike's been out fishing several times this past week. He says it's a real challenge! There's enough slush between the snow cover and the ice that the auger barely works; he starts drilling and water pours into the hole - sort of over-lubricating the cut! On the other hand, there are enough holes already dug in the ice that all he really needs is a crow bar - just punch out the ice in the existing hole and fish - of course, it's a smaller hole than he's used to. Getting down the hill to Birch Lake is also challenging - steep, slippery, and hard walking. You can see by the picture that the trail is still a bit rough!
We enjoyed the Mush for the Cure last weekend. We went up to Iron Lake where the dog teams were running close to the road and there was a good place to watch. One little guy kept us entertained between teams. He cheered "DOGGIE!" the minute he saw a team in the distance. His parents may regret bringing him, though, midway through the race his cheer changed to "WANT DOGGIE!" and by the time this beautiful matched white team came by his cheer became "WANT THAT DOGGIE!" It was a great day to be out and fun to have the teams to watch.
