March 2005

The weather in late February and early March was really nice and we were off to the island again. This time we walked from the parking place and noted that the ice road was still in an usable condition. But the hiking was a sweatty job and afterawards you couls continue it in Sauna. Another surprise was that the ice drilling was not an easy task. Jari had already given up and started to melt snow for bathing water. But Sini pushed on and managed to drill through the ice and then we had a plenty of water.
