10 - 12 inches has been reported and confirmed.
Water Patrol has given the go ahead to install on the ice out away from the shore.
Read this whole email please.
Ok. Here is the deal.
1. The ice is thick enough for us to be out on the lake.
For the first time in 2 years we will be off the shoreline.
This means we can drive on the lake. Please pay attention to number 2
2. During the install do not drive rented or large trucks and trailers onto the ice. Questions please ask before you drive out. Park in the palring lot at the south end of the Lake where we have been and load onto ice from there.
Assembled shanties can be towed out farther on the lake from there.
If you have full size truck or smaller then you may drive out on to lake with shanties.
Please pay attention to number 3
3. When you enter the lake please enter off of W. Medicine Lake Rd and the West entrance to the lake.
Take 394 to 55 west at 3rd stop light go right on W. Medicine Lake road go through a stop sign until you come to the lake and a parking lot entrance is there.
Drive around peninsula to the ASP. Take off seat belt and roll window down when driving on the lake. (seriously)
DO NOT DRIVE OVER THE BEACH from the parking lot! There is another entrance near the parking lot.
It is a private entrance. We ask that you not use this entrance. For the project park in the parking lot and use the ARTCAR TAXIs to get to the shanties. Or drive on from the West entrance. We would like to avoid too much parking around the project. That is what the Art Car taxi's are for.
The major install is this weekend. Please clean up and secure things when you leave for the night.
Shanties need to be up and running on Saturday the 19th. NO BUILDING ON THE OPENING DAY!
Thank you for thinking cold thoughts. Now let the fun begin.
