Last Monday me, Lance, Mom and Dad went ice skating at fish lake. After skating around for a while, me and Lance decided to skate the whole length of the lake. The furthest north we could go was at a spot called Joe's Bush, because there was a crack in the ice and water was flowing from the north. We got out and started at about 12:45, the ice fishers looked at us kinda weird when we started and told them we were going to skate clear to the end. We had a nice northerly wind to push us along, it was nice. At twin creeks there is a fault line that runs the entire width of the lake where the ice has cracked because of expansion, so we had to scout out the best spot to cross the dark abyss. It was a little spooky. A ways past that we found the best ice ever possible. The ice was so smooth we just couldn't resist getting on our knees to feel it's smoothness. It was hands down the best ice you could ever skate on (yes it's like we could ever know that) So after skating around for a few minutes we continued on untill we got to the south end of fishlake. Then we went back to the lakeside parking lot where mom and dad picked us up. Oh, the last 100 yards was a race, and I won (of course). So to make a short story even longer, me and lance are pretty much the coolest iceskaters ever.

Wow you guys definitely are the coolest!! That sounds pretty scary to do at Fish Lake. I'm glad the ice didn't break on you!! You guys are awesome.
Holy cow...I'm glad you guys didn't fall in! You are pretty much the coolest!!
wow that is very scary!! i would never dare do that, i would say if you aren't the coolest you are definitely the craziest. :) just kidding, good job!
Okay, I was thinking about it some more and I agree with Sarah. You guys are crazy!! What if you would have fallen in or something???
Beth, the ice is like 10" thick. If we were to fall in we had each other to help out, so if I fell in I would drag lance in or vise versa. Besides, there were ice fishers all along the shore the whole way so they could have snagged us with their lines, if they could run fast enough to get to us before we got hypothermia...
Shaun, you are just plain cool. And to think that you beat Lance even with your advanced years! And I love the map! Very nice.
I was thinking the same thing... CRAZY. but of course some of the coolist fellas I know!
