HI Tom!

I was thinking of heading to Swede Lake. I just want to be safe about the ice. I heard Lake Harriet was half open water last week???
I am thinking that lakes west of the metro would have stayed a bit cooler??? Plus they got 10 inches of snow out there???

Scott I am not sure of what swede is like my dam truck wont start I lost my phone and it is blowing like stink out here at my place I am waiting 4 a few freinds then we are goin to hit up a feild out west here some where.
most of the lakes were slush when it snowed so not much accumulated but there are a few spots and patches where snow collected .

Tom and Nate!!
Okay now I am in a wind frenzy....and I was going to get so much done today....well that is what the dark evenings are for I guess....call me at 612-720-0773...

Nate do any of your friends have a cell phone??? Do you have a GPS???
can you call me and let me know where you are going or where you end up? I want/need to get out before the snow is gone in a day or two...

Are the fields, that you talk about, state-owned land? Or is it privately owned (and riding with owner's permission)? I'd hate to just find an empty field, ride on it assuming it's public, and find out I was tresspassing.
