Breaking the Ice ...For a Drink

Original Post was Labor day weekend 2011    


Looking for water I needed to break through the ice sheet of this glacial lake. A funny thing happened in the process of getting the water. One of 4 bottles slipped out of my hand and went into the middle of this frozen lake. I gave it up for lost when out of the calm of the day a puff of wind came out of nowhere and blew my bottle to the edge. I quickly got near the edge and used my poles to retrieve the bottle.

The object in the center is my pack. It was a nice day so I smiled. The glacial lake smiled too; http://www.panoramio.com/photo/63185075
