Saturday 02/22/14

Saturday morning was windy, cloudy with light snow falling. After doing the laundry we watched a kite skiing clinic sponsored by the Colorado Kite Force on Lake Dillon. They supplied all of the equipment but because of the wind, they were not able to actually ski the lake. After watching them, I went ice fishing on the lake with my friend, Mike.

He brought all of the equipment necessary including an auger to drill thru the 24 inches of ice, 2 fishing poles with plenty of bait and fold up chairs to sit on. I brought the beer to drink. While we didn't catch any fish, it was an experience because of the wind. The fishing hole would freeze up in a matter of minutes so we had to use a scooper to move the ice around. The forecast for tonight is for several more inches of new snow. Lets hope so.
