A walk across Chippewa Bay

The Walkers did their first winter day on Mink Island this year. Tom and Amanda tried ice fishing while Sue and Toby walked around the island. Pictured below below is Amanda and Toby. Toby's little paws got cold so he got to ride in the bucket across Chippewa Bay.

With this past weekends 80 plus degree temps, Mink Island saw a few families eagerly opening cottages and test cruising the 39 degree river. On island were the Navarras, Otto, David and Geoff Cole, Mayor Cruz, Brady, Mookie, Chamberlain crew, Mike, Julian from Honeymoon and a woodpecker that looked like a pterodactyl. Beavers left evidence of their winter residence . Much missed was everybody else...

Thank you to the Ryans for the WiFi...

I want to take this opportunity to thank all of my constituents for your support these past few years. I want you all to know that this is a whole new year and we have an aggressive agenda for 2010 and we hope that fun is had by all. I look forward to seeing everyone soon - Mayor Cruz

Sights we do NOT like to see on the river

This sucker was huge. But no worries Mink Islanders, this guy was on Dillon Island.
