I had ordered an adjustable 4" elbow through a store in a town north of me and rather than have them send it down i decided to take the one hr drive up there and snowshoe to a ledge i new of for lunch.

Up at the town there were a couple of good views.

I picked up my elbow and headed south the the pull out where i would snowshoe in. Its a short snowshoe but well worth it. I settled in for lunch as the sun shone bright on a calm clear blue day.

Ledge part way down a cliff .

The view. Over the edge of the ledge is a thousand feet to the water so no going too close.

Stunning scenery and pics, thanks for posting those.

Is that lake usually frozen over Bill? I was reading today that you guys have had one of the warmest winters on record.

Yep, that's what you call scenery...............& a beard :)


Not much snow though.....I've got more than that ! :D


Thanks for sharing

Thanks; we've had about 4feet of snow. There was about a foot on the ledge,,pretty exposed there so not so much accumulation. Less snow than other years but 12"-24" on the ground at the moment except for the hill sides.

what a fantastic place ! many thanks for posting the photo's :)

your welcome

The lake doesn't usually freeze over. Very deep lakes around here. Apparently 50-60yrs ago it froze.We've had an odd year but not the warmest on record. I think the folks around Southern Ont and Wisconsin, Minnesota have had a pretty warm winter. Normally -20 and a week or so ago they we're +50-60F

beautiful shots matey!

thanks,,,easy subject

Thanks Stewie. We usually have more snow but only about 12"-24" on the ground at the moment

Great shots and a magnificent beard - thanks for posting!
