Wife said she saw some folks out on Moses Lake yesterday....cant imaging the ice is anywhere near thick enough. Did not hear of any ice rescues. Fishing this weekend may be an option!

 You know if your wife is in the vehicle and starts screaming, eventually she gets into a high enough frequency that it's inaudible.  My dog still noticed it though.

Now that is funny!! Late entry for post of the year right there!!! :chuckle:

You forgot the slamming of the imaginary break peddle. But that is so true!!

It was a long enough slide that I had time to test out the "turn in the direction of the skid and apply the gas".   Dang, that person was right.  It straightens right out... but you're going faster on the ice than before.

About 35 people out fishing Moses today.

I think they suggest to "GENTLY" apply the gas.

I walked out onto a pond yesterday to try to get a woodie pic.   Love hearing that CRACK.   Tracks filled up with water later.   I am thinking Ill stick to dry land for a bit.  LOL

 :yike: I used to trap a series of ponds that really required ice to be able to navigate and I have pushed it more than once.  That CRACK is surely terrifying.
Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.

It was pucker 7, only because I knew how deep it was.  If I was on unknown water, or Moses, I'd have been 10 plus.

I still remember my first time ice fishing and the ice started popping. I didn't know it at the time that its growing when that happens. My buddy was laughing his butt off as I am dropping my gear and looking for the closest land. It took a while to get used to that.

Someone has to have done a thickness check, heard it is only about 2 inches and someone went through yesterday.

Not sure how thick it is, but there has been 30-40 people on it all week.
