Westwinds just pulled bridge off

How far out is the break?

Should a guy go on at the south end instead?

You may want to call Westwinds and check before you arrive but I believe they closed the road for trucks. Now I could be wrong but I would check it out before you head up.

The main I-beams of the bridge are going to be pulled this morning. The side ramps will stay out through the weekend for ATV's to cross. West Wind is recomending ATV and snowmoblie travel for now. The access will handle vehicle trafic in the mornings but as the days warm up the water on the ice is going to make it look pretty nasty. Once you are past the first 300 yards the ice is ok. Just to be safe they would like people to use Atv's and snowmobiles. Be safe and use common sense.

Thanks ArticCat21, I wasn't sure how the Westwinds access was looking. The shore line is starting to look a little rough all over.

Went out on 4 wheeler last night out of WW. 1st 100 yards a little tricky but then it was good riding. WW pulled the steel ramps used for 4 wheelers to cross the ridge in the morning before i got there, my son and i fished on the east side. Fishing was great, what a sunset, the crappies were tight lipped, my son got the only one. I managed to only fatten the walleyes, 12 between us and 1 25" eye. To bad it was a school night, had to get JR. back at a reasonable time. Sure was fun trying one more time for the crappie. Ice was starting to soften, still 30+ inches. water has went down, just depends on the sun and temps if we get one more chance this weekend. may have to bring the snowmobile to get accross the shoreline! Thinking about the boat already.

      Don't take me wrong, I'm not anti-technology.  Battery powdered items will always have their place.  I'm mean you don't want your girl friend or wife in the bedroom playing for their gas powered adult toys!!  That would be a bit loud and smokey!

      That’s right. My 84 year old dad loves his electric chain saw. Light weight and quiet. Besides, at his age he’s not cutting a bunch. Where as myself I want something with more power and heavier duty.  Look at how many people have switched back to gasoline cars after running one in winter if you travel a lot.   As long as my strike master works I’ll keep using gas. Maybe my next will be electric, but who knows,  you can find used gas ones pretty reasonable as others buy electric.

      I think electric items have their places, I just don't think large commercial jobs are going to be able to work well with them. Can't see a logging crew out in the woods all day changing batteries!
