Hey does anyone know if the van on long lake went down yet or when it did? Thanks

I remember long time ago they had a car on one of that lake near aitkin between aitkin and deerwood, people would bet on what day it went through. but now they dont do it anymore because of environmentalist or something.

That can't be legal.

How do you get to this point???? Whatever i guess......

The last I heard, its legal IF the car is totally gutted. No engine, tranny, anything with fluids, etc. Seats out, etc. Pain in the butt. Also has to have a tether cable anchored on-shore.

They do it for fund raising at a local high school. A car gets put out on Fayal Pond in Eveleth and it's the thin ice contest.

No one cares up there. Do it anyway. How many F7's do you think sunk this winter? They sure didn't drain fluids on them. Fish need structure.

True enough I guess, and 'spose we could add to that ice fisherman cars and trucks that go thru the ice by accident. Oh, and yes, an occasional trail groomer.

The van I am referring to is a gutted one they put on the Ice and then do a fund raiser involving guessing the day and time it goes under. I was mainly interested because our cabin is ten miles away and was curious if the ice was off the lake yet. Sorry for the confusion.

What lake are you on? Most are open. Deep ones are still holding ice sheets.

Napoleon, pretty small lake, west of bigfork about 15 miles

I think it is east of Bigfork. Yes it is open. The larger deep lakes are almost open today.

East, yes, had a dyslexic moment. Are you from that area?

I have a cabin near Marcell and have been spending quite a bit of time up here lately.

Ever heard of Jack Robb or Arthur Gibbs?

No, if they are locals I don't know many.

cool area to ride out of. was up that way a couple years ago and stayed at a resort with cabins on spider lake (can't remember the name) and laughed my ass off at my buddy when we went to Richies. I'm 5'10 and he can't be more than 5'2 (leprechan lookin mofo) went to the pisser and I had to tippy toe it to hit the mark he must have had to stand back at the wall:lol:

Yea they grow them big up here. Either that or the plumber had been drinking (more likely).
