Looks like I'll be having a building night with some friends on Saturday. Glue, beer, wait, repeat.

I hope you guys have fun! Every couple of years I'll haul things out to Bush Lake. One thing that I find very handy is an old red sled. If you're not comfortable driving on the ice, toss all of your gear on one and walk it out. I've never had to use skis or floats. Unless there's been a recent snow, the surface is usually compressed enough to support a 6 or so pound model without too much trouble.
