Ice Cribs

Earlier this week we covered the Solon Springs Lion's Club Ice Fishing contest and got to see some pretty nice ice houses!  Now here's the rest with a visit to the other side of the lake.  There was some pretty deep snow on the lake and the B105 van wasn't able to make it, so we had an interesting way to get out to the ice house!  It's a little red neck!

This last Saturday we packed up the B105 van and made our way to beautiful Solon Springs, Wisconsin to take a look at some pretty cool ice shacks that were participating in the Lion's Club Ice Fishing contest.  It was a lot of fun!  Check out the video!

We've narrowed it down to two ice cribs that are up against each other.  The winner gets a stay at Barker's Island Inn, $100 for dinner out at the shack, and 3 pairs of Smart Wool socks.  (Not to mention every shack we met got $50 in gift certificates too)...

This was the first year me and my ice fishing friends built an ice house to put permanently on a lake during the ice fishing season.  We've ran into a few problems and things that we will do better next year... the first time around. My cousin is a carpenter and did a very nice job building the shack with our help...
