: Everybody just
parked on 35 feet of water. Ice is 17 inches thick. Drove my 5,600 lb. Silverado on it.
Had cruise control set at 70 mph on the ice. WOW. This is some winter! We even went
snowboarding at 40 mph off it using water ski ropes. :
: Lots of games
but tug-0-war was the most popular. :

lbs") decided a full on tackle would flatten his butt best. It did and I thought we
