Driving to work a few days ago...


...the lake was steaming like a giant bowl of ramen noodles.  I held my camera out the window and took this without taking my eyes off the road.  So you get what you get.  

The point is, the lake was in the process of becoming solid (and now is solid).  Seems strange to plan for a paddling event when the ice has locked up the lakes, but we're just 77 days out.  We've got it all under control here (well...everything under our control anyway), but it still seems weird that we're on the backside of the winter solstice and days are getting longer, and in just 11 weeks we'll be schlepping canoes, kayaks, paddles, and a few assorted semis of product over to the Alliant Energy Center Exposition Hall.

Right now, I just want to think about finishing my gazette assignments and go snowshoeing before the rain melts it all this weekend.  You heard correctly; rain.

Stay safe,

  Darren
