AS OF APRIL 23, AT 4PM---7472 TICKETS HAVE BEEN ELIMINATED FROM THE CONTEST.
TEMP 85 AND WINDS NOW CHALLENGE THE FAST TICKING CLOCK.


THIS MEANS THERE ARE ONLY 1,950 GUESSES STILL IN THE GAME! Here is the ice report as of 11:30 this morning (4/23/07). As I left West Danville, there is open water almost all the way from the narrows to the bridge. A canoe could easily paddle through. However, the middle pond has only a narrow strip next to Rt. 2 showing open water from the 2nd narrows towards Point Comfort. The narrows, some of the north end of the pond near Loon Cove, and where brooks are emptying into the pond have some open water showing, but, as you can see by the photos, there's still pretty solid ice out there. I didn't see the fisherman up behind the big island today, but yesterday he/she spent most of the morning out on the ice in the sunshine. It was nice enough out there both yesterday and today, it's not important whether the fish are biting or not. However, I wouldn't venture out onto the ice at this late date - could be pretty risky.

Did I mention we're back to muddy roads? This is how the hill coming off Rt. 2 looked this morning. There is another spot on the hill by Pat and Mo Gardner's. We've been lucky so far, but these two spots are a challenge.
