Anyone drill some holes in the BWCA recently? What kind of ice thickness have you found?

Thank you.

Wow travel conditions must of been very good. How many nights? Dogs or skiis.
Done about half way,but always skiied back same way on camping trip. Some awesome winter beauty.

About 25 to 30 inches of ice, lots of which is frozen slush.
