4 wheeler thawed

I haven't been on here for almost a week so a quick update. We have had about another 8 inches of snow since New Years Eve. Yesterday and today were in the single digits to the low teens but before that it was below zero from the evening of New years day until yesterday with some lows around -30.

We tried to get the 4-wheeler on Gilmore and check out some different fishing spots but still too much slush. We checked out some other lakes around and found that Upper Bottle had a road plowed so we took the 4-wheeler out and did some fishing New Years day. The wind was fblowing and the road drifted in so it took about an hour of going 10 feet and digging the 4-wheeler out to get off the lake so I AM DONE fishing til spring, its just not worth it!

I had to use the little propane torch for about an hour to get the plow back on the 4-wheeler (too much ice underneath). I put it in the heated shop and it took 2 full days to melt all the ice off it. It was so cold that it was bringing the temp in the shop down about 15 degrees........

Take care.
