Guest Fowkes Report post Posted January 9, 2014 Hi all, Just moved to Thunder Bay last week. Once everything gets unpacked I hope to get out on the ice. Any suggestions on local lakes, or areas of Superior would be great. Mostly it'll be just me, but sometimes I'll have my young son along so suggestions that don't involve a long drive or a quad/sled would also be appreciated. Thanks. Great website.

WalleyeWayne 137 Report post Posted January 14, 2014 I watched Gary transport out at least 3 shuttle loads of people last Saturday and must say that's a tidy operation he's running. One hell of a sled also that transports 9 people on the toboggan, b-training the firewood toboggan, while doubling up another rider on the sled. Impressive!
