A Walk on a Frozen Lake and a Curious Scene



The day was clear and it didn’t seem too cold so I decided to take the dog for a walk.  Actually, I decided that Adrian and his friend Alex had been playing video games long enough and I need to get them out of the house.  We made our way to Stony Creek Park and proceeded to walk north through the woods from the beach and soon found ourselves walking on the lake.  The ice was very solid and it gave me confidence to let the kids walk on the lake after I saw someone ice fishing in the middle of the lake.  But I only let them walk no more than 100 feet from the shore.  Here are some pictures and videos.




On the way back we saw a very curious thing:  Four guys walking into the woods toward the lake.  They were walking single file and I wish I would have turned around and taken a picture of them.  The first and last fellows were carrying an aluminum half keg on the back of their shoulders holding the top and bottom of the cans.  The two middle fellows were carrying what seemed to be 50 pound weights, the round platter-type that go on a bar for weight lifting.  Now, what do you suppose all that was all about?  Any suggestions may help shed some light on this scene.
