We are in Red Lake and the weather has turned cold. Howey Bay has more than a foot of ice. We still have very little snow (less than 4 inches).

We left camp today. All the work is done in preparation for spring. Another successful season is behind us. Thank you all for sharing your vacation time with us. We know you have choices. It is obvious from the photo at right that it was time to go.

Louise has painted the floors in all the cabins. The floating dock is moved to the river to prevent damage from ice.

The walleye fishing is fast and furious below White Dog Falls. Ethan caught this nice walleye along with dozens of others and a 32 inch northern.
