Notes

Just 3 MM rain overnight. Ice is off the lake on this, our first visit to Pt Petre this year.....suspect it has been off for several weeks but can’t confirm so will mark this date for ice-off. Very windy today so the waves are really coming in heavy. No sign of any wildlife around this spot or anywhere during our 1 hour walk here today....hiding out from the winds? Someone has cut back the bushes and left them piled here...also lots of the usual garbage left and dumped by idiots.
