VIKING ISLAND & OUTPOSTS, RED LAKE, ONTARIO, CANADA (807) 727-0321 enid@vikingoutpost.com
My family runs a float plane service, outposts and a lodge. This is more than a business; it is a life style.
Every year, every season, every day brings something new. I try to blog about life our way.

The ice has frozen smooth and deep

The lake has frozen well.  The best freeze happens when there is very little snow on the new ice.  It freezes deep and smooth.  This Sunday, Howey Bay was full of people skating across the smooth ice wherever they chose.  This is a rare event for Red Lake.
Cathy and Lindsey live on the edge of Howey and Bay and get a great view of freeze-up,
 break-up and all that happens out on the bay
These deer hang out below my office window.
This fox comes by in the morning
 to check out my yard.

These grouse hang out by the apple trees.

Please send comments and suggestions. I will try to answer questions about ice out, the weather, fishing and the Red Lake area.
