Yup those are Brookies under the ice. That was the inlet of the lake so it wasn't in the skating zone. Otherwise we tested the lake, with an ice screw, to be a pretty consistent 5"-6" deep, which is strong enough to support a car. It was still making some really crazy groaning and shooting sounds almost like when you get points in a video game.
Missing all you guys... but there is lots of good happening over here. I have a new job working at the newly opened Mountain rambler Brewery in Bishop. Ribs are still hurt, but I spend everyday exploring the mountains. Its really nice to drive down my street (the last street in town) and make a right turn and in 20 mins I'm at 9,000 feet into heaven.
