Yesterday, we checked more ice towards the Banana Reef and Tundra, set cones where roads will be, and looked for ways through the ice ridge out there. I took the Jeep out for the first trip and bladed roads to the Graveyard, Ray’s, and NW Pope’s. Today, I’m headed to the Banana and what we call “the Bowl.”
With the 9″-11″ of ice we found yesterday, I’m sure we will have 10″-12″ when we check today after the sub-zero temps last night. We will be letting small wheelhouses (14ft or less) out-pulled with ATVs or SxSs. I would recommend chains on them also. We have plenty of room for parking rigs onshore and for wheelhouse camping at N/C. An access fee is the only charge. I will be pulling out two of our 8’x12′ Basic rentals for the weekend this afternoon. Customers will need an ATV to access them, and you must call in advance to reserve.
When we get 14″ inches of ice all over I will start pulling smaller houses and permanents. Starting Monday, Permanents should call in advance to get on the “pull list” and let us know if LP should be checked on the way out. Remember we insist your license is on the house before it goes out.
Keep a Tight Line!
