went out of camp perry Tuesday afternoon straight line to g-can. the ice from the beach out about 1/2 mile looked like crap with people busting thru out about 100 yards or so. on out to the main crack was questionable , past the crack to d-can was good to go. had 14-17 inches of ice with top couple inches slush. forgot to load the spud this trip so I really don't know how good or bad the ice was(mistake!). I never slowed down long enough to find out until I got to g-can. the auger didn't punch thru as fast as it did 3 days earlier, seemed the ice had hardened back up a bit with the cold temps. Now 2 days later with this heat wave and the wind rippin who knows? if the ice dosnt blow out and we get 2-3 days cold air the ice should stiffen back up enough for one last trip. if not the boats loaded and ready to roll

Went northwest of cawtawba bout 3 miles. pulled 4 Lost 4 and had many lookers on the screen. Left the ice about 1030 during the rain. The crack where I crossed in the morning looked exactly the same when I came in. I crossed where the piece of plywood was laying.
