Treading on Thick Ice

I'd prefer it to be "on Lake George" rather than "in Lake George".

You can be ON and IN Lake George at the same time.

I was going to announce the start of our season but now I don't have to.

Location: Lake Algonquin in Wells NY. Easy drive up NYS Rte. 30 north.

Haha. Let me clarify: Lake George is a town.

I'd love to see how my AWD 325 hp Yukon XL Denali would do.

It's been years since I've driven on frozen lakes. It's more fun than you can imagine.

IIRC, they don't allow any kind of trucks / SUVs Otherwise, I would have taken the Jeep out there by now...

In reply to rslifkin:

We have a great (huge) pond that used to (hmmmm, it's been years since we had ice thick enough) that was so much fun.

I was in a 4x2 5spd Ranger and had friends in 4x4's. a plow made an enormous track to "race" on. It was HOURS of great fun.

Man I wish we had frozen lakes out here. Then again, we have some crazy snow right now, and therefore, after ten pm, my roads are a snowcross.

AMEC is very fortunate geographically I think. They seem to get the ice almost 3-4 weeks before us, and we are only 2-3 hours away....east and maybe a little north. I think the lakes themselves are in a sweet spot, and the one we use is just too large. Our smaller lakes are either too well populated and too popular with other recreation, or they have some springs that make thick ice a lot less common. Mike, how long has AMEC been doing the ice races as a group(either as AMEC or something else)?

W2W or time trials format?
