Crazy people out on Lake Michigan - Don't look Warthog!

Warty I'm sure you have a lot of this going around your area also.
The wife and I went out to take a look at the pier on Sunday. Boy what a surprise to see hundreds of people out there and walkin on the ice. We had to leave when we saw people crossing the frozen channel to the North pier. Just crazy!!
Here are some photos from the local paper. I'll try to post some of mine when I get a chance.

Nope, you fall through a heave and you are crushed and gone...

They drive their cars and trucks out on the ice but that ain't nothing - one moving company had to move a house. Instead of moving it along the street and having to get permits and help for overhanging lines, traffic control, etc. they decided to move the house onto the ice and pull/push it to its new location. It was a 2 story house being pulled by a front end loader and pushed by a ........bulldozer. All went well - except when the bulldozer track on the right side broke through the ice tilting the machine and wow - now what???

"Stupid is as stupid" does as Forrest Gump said in the movie..

I'd like to try ice fishing but now the ice is over 2 feet thick. I don't have a gas powered auger so would take forever to just make a hole. Oh well. Stay warm and away from LARGE objects on the ice.
