    Went out from the Public Access on the SW side of the lake today (Sun Nov 30).

    For about the first 30 yards there’s 4 inches.

    Then you cross some broken/refrozen chunks and there’s 2 inches.

    Then you get to a pressure crack with wetness extending about 2 to 5 feet on each side of the crack. DON’T GO NEAR THE CRACK. Beyond the crack there is LESS THAN 2 inches.

    We were in a vehicle that floats and will drive out of the water back onto the ice. We crossed the crack, then turned around and while recrossing we broke through. I would not have tried it if I was walking .

    We then drove the North shore from the reeds on the west end over to the winter access on the NE side of the lake. There is a large open spot out in front of the winter access. We broke through again just west of the winter access, between shore and the large open spot. I would NOT EVEN TRY WALKING OUT from the WINTER ACCESS yet.

    My passenger took pictures. I’ll post them when I see them from him.

    To see the vehicle we were driving, google “WILCRAFT”

    wow, what a vehicle, I wonder if you can just drive it into the lake in the summer and fish it like a boat?
