I went out looking for lakers as well. Started off the morning doing some work by pushing out a truck that got stuck. Tried walking far enough to avoid the crown but that did not work. Spud my way out in the dark almost every other step. A couple of guys on shore told me before I headed on the ice that they checked the ice and was too sketchy. They drilled a hole and ice was cracking all around them.
The ice made noise all day and again skipped a few heart beats. 5 inches of ice total and mainly black ice. I had to measure as it looked very thin and could of sworn it was about 3 inches. Had the heater on low when it was on but was off most the time. Couldn't risk melting anything off the top. Few hair line cracks passed through the holes and under my chair.
