On the way from East Grand Forks to Thief River Falls I passed a couple ponds that had a skim of ice on them. I am sure they will be clear on the way home, but it is a tell tale sign that ice may not be long off.
I would like to make a short trip next week if the weather warms up for a few days. We will see if that happens.

I was wrong. There still a little ice on the pond.

Had to break through an inch of ice to get to my lake today. River travel was a no go! Too much ice!

Whoa! What lake/river? I am thinking about entering Hegman or Slim tomorrow. Maybe I won’t be. Uff-da.

I made it onto Slim this morning. NO ICE! The marshes on the portage trail had patchy ice. No one at the EP! It’s going to be a beauty of a weekend!

And then it was 73 degrees around the Angleworm Trail on Sunday 10/23. Crazy warm this past weekend.
