I stopped at lake a few weeks ago and there was a girl skating alone. I didn’t want to say anything and kill her good times so I just hung out until other people showed up. It’s just crazy to be on the ice alone.

I am driving a little over 2 hours each way Saturday morning, hope to beat the snow storm arriving.

You pulling that? If so I wish you the best, slow and easy.

That said I’ve towed worse.

The beauty of that house and why I bought it. The skin is sitting on a new frame and axel. It is modern below the structure and over built, way stouter than an ice castle frame.

Trailer towed 120 miles like a dream, balanced excellent zero sway and you hardly know it is back there. Did not realize that it came with a Colman cook stove too. My wife says I should leave the TV in it. Tried to explain that there is no TV reception with an antenna up here, she says put in a DVD player, yeah no the TV is going. There will be a sound system though.

One reason I bought this trailer instead of a wheel house that cranks down and sits right on the ice is the guy made steel flanged hole skirts so the wind can't blow thru and I don't have to deal with the house frozen to the lake when it is time to pull it off the lake. I will post up some pictures later.
