X2.  Seen a 10 hp motor trying to go upstream against a 11 hp current headed down.  Not pretty

How so? I didn't know ice can mess up the shoreline in a significant way.

We are talking about feet of ice moving with much force when it breaks up and heads downstream.   It takes a lot of stuff out, trees, river bottom, paved roads, etc.  Here's a picture of the access road back to Buttonwood.  It may not open this run!  Ice slabs will be melting for weeks if not months.

Well, I left for the trip yesterday morning. I really pulled the Bone Head of the Year move. I'm embarrassed to say after years of dreaming and four and a half hours into the trip, an hour from my brother's place, I discovered I left my wallet home credit cards, drivers license, everything! @#%^%E!!!! luck. I knew my brother would bankroll me, so that wasn't a problem. However I needed a Driver's license/ID for the out of state fishing license. So, I took the next exit off I-90 drove another four and a half hours back home. Got home, unloaded the truck, Uncovered the boat, which I thankfully decided to leave home for the first trip, got it running to go find perch somewhere today.
Maybe next year. Just wasting the gas was too big of a hit on my meager budget. Oh well, such is life.
