hoping for better weather

westapril.jpgEven though it is cold and snowy today, it is only about 79 days until the ice will give way to warmer things. Here is a photo from April of last year from the south side of the lake.

Kelly Lake abundant snowfall!

jan-08-snow2.JPGjan-08-snow.JPGYou snowmobilers and fishermen might want to note the approximate total of 9″ of snowfall we just got here; a pain to remove for us, however!  About 7″ came last night; I removed another 2″ and driveway plow furl this AM.   Gonna be cold, so it should be around for awhile.  By the way, GO PACK!  Rog (Photos by Shirley Birr)

afternoon exit

Big crowds

Earl had his tents set up on the site of the Round Roof where the fish were measured and displayed and raffle prizes were awarded.

scenes from the fishing contest
