"OFF THE ROAD AGAIN"

OOPS!...

...MAYBE IF WE ALL PULL ON THE ROPE REAL HARD...

...GUESS THE SIGN MEANT WHAT IT SAID!

Sunday,  9:00 AM.  26 degrees F, wind WNW, light.  The sky has a high overcast, the humidity is 85% and the barometer is trending down some, at 29.58".
   The ice road is open,  there seems to be a lot of traffic on it, and I think the wind sled has stopped running.  The plowed ice road is pretty obvious, and is lined with last year's Christmas trees as markers, but the "Travel At Your Own Risk" sign says a lot, if it doesn't say it all.  
   The truck that has partially fallen through the ice was evidently traveling at night and may not have gotten onto the ice road proper at all, from the looks of it, as it went through not far off  the ferry boat dock. Neighbor Sherman responded to a fire-rescue call earlier in the morning but it was cancelled because no one was injured or in danger. I took the photo about 10:00 AM, and the truck was not there when I returned at 2:30 PM.  It was either successfully retrieved, or it sunk.  I think I hear Willie Nelson singing, "Off The Road Again."
