Washing a vehicle

[workin4bait]

I drove past the north access on Buffalo and seen there was a vehicle that the frontend was sitting on the frame. This was about 7:45 pm.

I heard a truck went through. Was it right by the access workin?

Surprised it took this long there is not much ice out there and it has been warm.

Was it to the right of the access where the water comes into the lake and people always go down at?

[workin4bait]

It was on the path that everybody was driving on. I figured all the traffic,salt,sand and sun weakened the ice there.

Thanks for the Update Workin , You wouldn't happen to any pictures of it share by chance ?

No pictures,I was driving by and there was a crowd gathering already.

Most of these lakes in south central MN will be trashed for vehicle traffic after this snow. At least the lakes in my area west of the metro and around Mankato. Way too many thin ice spots where the snow was drifted.

 

Just one of those seasons, either walk or wheeler, snowmobile. I have not fish locally all winter but have seen some taking very high risk chances on the local lakes.

I see that the northwest access has been taped off.

I looked at the ice after it has been taped off. Seems the cracks and ice heaves could make  things not good for trucks.

I walked out couple days ago and the ice looked horrible. They put thin ice signs at all the access's. I would see guys pull up and look at the signs, scratch their head a little bit, and then drive out it was pretty funny. I cant believe multiple vehicles haven't gone through and this snow isn't going to help the situation. This is the first winter I can remember where I may not be able to drive on the lakes.

Buffalo lake always seems to have crazies on it driving when it does not seem safe yet.  The other place with those crazies is on the St. Croix near Bayport people have been driving out there even when there are a plenty of recent reports of only 8" of ice in spots.  I was on Red Lake last weekend and even though the ice was plenty thick for driving I couldn't believe how little ice there was for that part of the state this time of the year.  This year's is has been very frustrating I have been trying to get my daughters out on some metro ice for the their first ice fishing trip all winter but  I may just have to write off this year.  Who knows maybe a year of light pressure will benefit next years ice fishing season.
