On Star, we have a problem

[ford nut]

Ice fishing in Minnesota.
Half a dozen trucks go into lake of the woods last weekend.

when we first came to it only the front tires were in. when we got there they were in process of getting ropes hooked up to it and they made a hard run at it to get it out, it started up and out but when the rope snapped in went back down hard and sank it. I can only assume they tried to pull it out slow first but just kept slipping on the ice, it was bare ice with no traction so then they decided to try a hard run at it. Hats off to Wigwam resort for trying really really hard to help the guy out. I can only assume the guides up there have done this once or twice before and really know the best ways to try to get trucks out. It was amazing to watch first hand and reality check sets in that it could easily be your own truck. We were on wheelers but there were a lot of trucks out that far. The ice was 2.5-3ft thick but really crummy. you almost had to hold you auger back drilling holes.
