We were up dragging our sleds home Sunday *sad* and went down to the rattlesnake landing to look at ice conditions before we left. The edges were starting to release and the surface looked solid. We stood there debating on taking the sleds for one last blast before we put them away and decided that we should be safe and not try it as there were no other people as far as the eye could see and that we should respect the ice.

All of a sudden there were three sleds driving across the lake past the northern tip of Rattlesnake and down towards west alton. We were very surprised to see anyone out there (even though we wanted to, calmer head prevailed). Was it really safe enough to have sleds out there Sunday? On the ride home we were glad we stayed on shore and didn't risk it.

Bring on the boats!
