    With the seasonably cold temps the ramps at Everts have been closed the last two days.
    The river has ice from Everts shore to the Minnesota Shore.

    Since you didn’t win the Powerball we thought we would try to cheer you up by holding a “Guess the Date and Hour” contest.

    RULES:

    1) Post in this thread, the date and hour the ramp or ramps will again be open.
    2) The entry closest to the correct date and hour without going past the opening time will be deemed “The Winner of the GRAND PRIZE”.
    3) Only one entry per member.
    4) Ramp or Ramps open will be deemed by enough open water to launch a boat and motor it up stream to the dam area.
    5) Ski is the official Judge on the time the ramps become open. Judges rules are final.
    6) In case of duplicate winning time and date, the earliest poster will take the Grand Prize.
    7) Grand Prize will be held at Everts Resort until claimed.
    8) Management, staff and relatives of employees of Everts Resort, Banks 4 Season Sports are not eligible to win.
    (Yes Chris and Jolene you are excluded)

    9) All times are counted as the hour listed. Example 6am, 6:15am, 6:28am are all considered 6am to 7am.

      GRAND PRIZE!!

    $10.00 Gift Certificate to Everts Resort AND 1 Can of Hormel Classic Spam!!

    Good Luck in your guessing!!

    If a person “wins” can he/she accept the gift certificate only or does one have to take the can of spam also?

    It is a bit funny.

    Caller: Are the ramps open?
    Resort: No.
    Caller: I’ve been calling each year for 30 years and this is the first time I’ve heard the word “No”!! rotflol

    Bottom line is with the below zero temps few if any are bringing a boat down and dealing with frozen line to the guides and reels. Not to mention the cost of ramp ice clearing has on the equipment.

    So with one guess listed so far…he’s going to be the winner??

    If he’d have just said the 14th he’d have been good. However he said “by 1:59 PM” so he was earlier than the 3:17. Specifics cost him. No Spam for the Bushman.

    Yes, this would be 1/14/16 at 1 to 2 pm.
    Since they were reported open on the 13th, he was over too.

    Sorry man!
