Notes

You need to improvise in the winter. The ice gets thicker and thicker every month. 30 inches of ice took one hour to get through this month. We will buy a gas-powered Auger next year. I used a gulf Club to get to the river water below the ice. I duct-taped the cup to the bottom of it.
It was a challenge but I loved it.😁
