Ben went out to see how much ice we have grown in the last 2 days. He checked on spots along where the road normally is on the way to Center Reef. He found we have grown about 1/2 to 3/4 inch since the last report on 1/16. Ben drilled where there was no or minimal slush ice and found 14.5 to 16.5 inches. Where Slush ice is layered on top you can find more thickness. The spot south of Coney Island that had 13 Inches on 1/16 grew to 13.5 as of today (he was expecting more).
Half Ton Pick-ups with Single Axle Houses are still what we are allowing. If you have a capable ATV or Side by side and dolly to pull it, we will allow reasonable sized tandem houses to go on through here. FYI there is a bit of a hill as you approach the ice at our landing. Please do NOT drive on the ice with a truck and Tandem House yet, even to just unhook. We are allowing up to 1 ton trucks including unloaded Diesel's with NO houses behind them on through our access as well.
We want another 1.5 inches of ice (on the low end of thickness) before we are comfortable allowing the bigger houses behind trucks! We will allow Tandems behind pickups through our access when the 14.5 to 16.5 inches turns into 16 to 18 plus inches.
See you on the ice!
