We couldnt take it...We had to get out.
So we packed up the truck and off we went. Here are a few pictures of the day. Enjoy! This first picture is what it looked like when we arrived. Tempature was 52 in the sun. Water temp was 31, and we were at 10,500 feet.  But I was ready.

Temps have been way too cold to run the pump so far this year to dredge......
 Most of the time its below 20 and thats not to mention the wind chill. Tempatures need to be at least above freezing with lots of sunshine.  Careful running your equipment in these cold tempatures, and always dress for the weather. We were using dry suits/waiders and thick gloves to work in the water.
