Well..what a time!!!A huge thank you to Jake and the guys from B Team and their friends for inviting Dad and I along on their Ice Fishing Weekend!
They hauled me and all my specialty equipment (walker, wheelchair, scooter, cane, commode chair, specialty cushions,etc , and all my fishing gear, up from the parking lot to the cabin on snow machines. It takes 2 strong guys who know what they are doing using the fireman lift just to get me anywhere at all - up into the sled, out to the ice shack , and then onto my scooter out on the ice ( the scooter also had to be lifted and hauled out on a sled) - and then back again each time!
Jake did quite a job of hosting!
We had lots of laughs, lots of beverages , lots of great food - and even a few fish!
Special arrangements were made to have a picnic table out by the shack :)
There were prizes for biggest, fewest, and most fish. Oh, and of course the 'Most Hammered' and 'Party Animal' awards!
Not to mention late night snowmobile races and a ton of other fun!
Oh... and did I mention that the guys brought along a couple of four wheelers - one with a blade - to clear paths on the ice for me to scoot around on? Unbelievable!! They not only cleared a spot around the fishing shack so I could fish but even plowed paths so I could run around and visit the different spots where everyone was fishing. It really made me a part of things!

Never felt safer in my life than surrounded by a gang of firefighters all with EMS training :)
The guys treated Dad and I like kings and created an unbelievably memorable time for us - never thought I'd ever, ever be ice fishing again!
All and all one of the best trips of a lifetime! Thanks guys!!!!
You'll never know what it meant to Dad and I!!
