[QUOTE="Allen, post: 387228, member: 389"] Oh, I get it. One has to remember that these numbers are for clear, uniform ice. Not something we often see in nature. Back when I fished DL frequently, there would be 40 inches of ice out in the middle of the lake, but it was easy to find less than 10 inches of ice up next to the trees. Of course, the main trails would often pass right next to the points coming out from the trees and I always wondered how many actually knew they were driving over less than a foot of ice at times. The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation had contractors hauling loads of rock out to the island of Audubon quite a few years ago. If I remember correctly, they required a 24 inch ice thickness. Bottom line for me, I drive my F250 on the ice with the windows down and seatbelts off. Avoid any submerged islands (why I almost never fish Audubon) and shy away from points and saddles between above water islands. [/QUOTE]
