Ice is nearly out in narrows in front of camp

Hugh Carlson of Viking Island Lodge and Outposts flew over camp yesterday and could see the narrows is now clearing of ice. Thanks for the update, Hugh!
Enid Carlson published a couple of views of camp from Hugh's plane on her blog today. Click on the link to see these pix.
We are delaying until Tuesday flying into camp on the hope that just possibly the ice will be gone from the rest of the lake by then and we can take the Lickety Split.
If there's still ice in the way for this 20-mile trip we'll see if the Viking planes can ferry us over the ice from town to camp.

Hi Dave,
Yes, we're glad to see some liquid water around the west end of the lake!
We still hope to boat into camp on Tuesday but cold temps in Red Lake today and forecast for tomorrow might have frozen that idea.
Anyway we'll be in Red Lake on Tuesday and barring some unexpected weather event, like a gale that would move the ice sheet and smash it, we'll fly out with Viking Outposts and get to work.
