–We finally got the snow machines and the skis out and made a trip to one of the nearby public use cabins.
This cabin was just re-built last year and they did a great job.
Tried out our new ice fishing shanty - thanks to uncle Greg!
I think there will be lots of ice fishermen out shopping for some Twisted Tea due to our marketing.
Managed to land a couple of nice burbot (24-30") - but didn't get any of the pike we were looking for.
There was a mysterious chunk of glacier ice on the lake.
What else to do except for make cocktails!
At 1:30AM we awoke to a violently shaking cabin...later to be confirmed as a 7.1 earthquake. There were a couple of good aftershocks to follow as well. Once the sun came up, there were fresh cracks in the lake ice visible all around the shoreline of the lake. The ice is about 24" thick right now, so there wasn't much concern.
Water and mud shot up through the cracks - up to 10' away in some areas (luckily we weren't out fishing in the yellow shanty at the time). There was another lake in Kenai where some fish and other aquatic critters died from being forced up through some similar cracks. There are some good videos of the quake on the inter-web.
