WOW  ;D
What a great day  ;D

The ice was pretty thick (too thick to cut through with the 36" chainsaw).  We had to finish off the hole with hand saws.  In one of the attached photos Arcflash is indicating on the saw how thick the ice is  :o.
Although the weather was just fine we still set up the shelter.  The other photo is of Scubajunkie tending line for arcflash.
In addition to the "usual finds of fishing rods/anchors/lures/old bottles and other assorted treasure were two items of special interest.  One was a really neat blue glass candle stick that arcflash found ( HINT HINT Steve you HAVE ta post a photo of it!!).  The other find (drumroll please......or better yet nad perhaps more fitting the sound track to Indiana Jones - he shoulda been a diver ya know).  Shooter found a hand chipped stone implement.  It would appear to have been designed to be used to possibly chip ice or kill fish (maybe both).  Quite the archeological coup 

A wonderful time was had by one and all
