Today is April 23 and Grandpa is feeling lucky. Grandmaman is doubtful that the ice will be out by April 30. Here are a few pics from today. Lots of thick ice still down by the cabin. Lots of open water and thinner ice flows here in Norglenwold. The ice hasn't broken up much though, seems to be one big sheet.
