echo lake. it's pretty awesome.

 I'd never been to echo lake near lavington before.  seen it on a map, but never been there.  Now i wonder why it took so long.  Wayne and Natasha suggested it for what has turned out to be the weekly ice fishing adventure.

long narrow echo lake.

It's a provincial park and apparently has sandy beaches.  no sand visible when we were there, but cool misty skys in the early afternoon and even some sun.

Mike had his big red in the back of his van.  the fun got turned up to 11 when he pulled it out and we took turns blasting around the lake on it.  no injuries.  just saying.

mike and the trike.

this thing is mad fun.

There were lots of dogs in attendance as well.  Dog, and lula came with natasha and wayne.  Charli can with patrick, and oscar showed up when Ian did.

got cloudy later in the day

There were quite a few of us, maybe a record for an adventure.  in attendance was myself, mike, tom, patrick, wayne and natasha.  Ian popped by for a visit as well.  a sweet surprise.

good times right there.  good times.

The clouds that rolled in later in the day didn't make us sad.  i was happy to see the sun at all, and the clouds added a cool vibe.

Even a 1970 toyota celica gt was spotted on the lake.  enough ice so that it didn't break through.  should have seen that thing drift!

Another successful trip in the books.  no fish of course, but whatever...  Next sunday possibly out to fish lake.  the name sounds promising.

and cheers to wayne, i stole some of your pictures.
