Was “wavers” a water joke? lol 16" of ice probably weighs more than a car so even if it broke you could just float back to shore on it. lol (That was a joke) ---

IIRC it was 15" that day. Sure does sound creepy though with the ice shifting all day. ---

it was creaking and shifting… they had to re-route the entrance around an old ice-fisherman’s hole. plow truck would drive by and there was a geyser, less than comforting at times. [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/algonquin-lake-winter-driving-event/208460.md?page=1)
