Ice out update…April 2, 2016

Here’s a view from the lodge this morning…

Things are gradually melting, but there is still a lot of ice.  When will it go?  You be the judge.  In the meantime I made another trip back into the portage lakes to make repairs and install the “magical sky winch”….

Fixed the ramp and broken boat seat in McGregor….ready to go!
Bring along my own power.
New seat bases.

The amazing sky winch. Will it work? Time will tell.
Boats ready for the opener!

Other things in the mix are the addition of the screened porch on cabin #3 and the interior renovations on cabin #5.  Here’s #5 in progress…….

Replacing the kitchen window.
Hello cabin six!
Two bedrooms become one.

Just a reminder that there are is still plenty of time to submit your ice out guess….you don’t even have to be a guest of VBL.   The only stipulation is should you win you must stop by to claim your prize.  Good luck!
