Ice Out 2012 Conclusion

We went down to the beach this morning to find Cliff sunk into the ice. Warm winds and rain last night knocked him down from his perch. Here he is at a warm sunrise, I am sure the lake is quite chilly yet Sunrises don't get prettier than this O Officially in the lake on the earliest date yet March 20th. Now who won everyone is wondering.... I had not published the list until I had all the guesses in.

We left him floating and came back and he had disapeared Where did he go? Somewhere at the end of the rope is something.. Pulling in something bigger than a Muskie Heavy and water logged He has a year to dry out until Ice Out 2013. Thanks for joining us for a very short contest this year
