Yeterday I opted to take the truck as opposed to the sled due to the weather. At dusk I was coming off of Mac’s Twin Bay road, and the truck broke through and dropped a few feet,hanging up on the frame. I jumped out and ran to the road to flag down a truck, and fell through the ice up to my waist! In -21 weather. A couple of guys seeing what was happening swung wide behind me. I grabbed my snap rope out of the truck, got it attached to both trucks just in the nick of time. We pulled like mad, and got her back up on safe ice. After getting back on safe ice, we could see that ther was a crack under the plow drift at the edge of the road that I had to cross to get onto the main road. You could see that the ice dropped a couple of feet!
Like the saying goes, no ice is safe ice!
