These photos were all taken on February 24, 2008.
They are of the Lake I see out my windows. In summer I have done Dragon Boating on this lake, and on the day of these photos I drove my truck on it. In winter, many things happen on this lake, including car races as you see here. The people drive their trucks out onto the lake, pulling the race cars on trailers behind them, then unload and spend the day racing on the ice.
About to drive out... getting up my nerve

About to drive out... getting up my nerve
Racing cars
Trucks and trailers of the racers
Made sure I got the rear view mirror in this shot so you can actually see my truck on the lake without me getting out. Guess I was lazy that day
A closer look at the van in the first photo. Ice fishermen at work... or is that play
More people playing on the frozen lake
Headed towards the 'exit'
Here's me leaving the lake
I had planned to drive out on the lake again this winter, further than the first time, and I never did get around to doing it. It is far past time for that now and the ice, though still on the lake, is very thin, and melted away to open water in many places around the edges of the lake.
