Margie I absolutely agree! What a wonderful thing is the English language. The pictures that it stirs up and the memories that come back have to be seen to be believed. The wording of your post did that to me taking me back to junior school days when Mae West died and they carried her out two abreast. You're probably too young to remember but I'm sure you got the picture instantly. The bees are still humming!!!!!! Ciao

I thank you all for your accolates. SI like the internet itself has alot of really positive and of course negative aspects to it. It has certainly opened up the doors to information and conversation. There are alot of great posters on SI and some not so great ones as well. Such is human nature. When one considers the role mineral exploration plays and has played in Canada, it is amazing how little is really known about it in the general public. If anyone is interested in ice roads, there is a book called Dennisons Ice Roads you may find in your library or in a used book store. Also the Nation Film Board of Canada has a video about them called "ICE ROADS" I believe. One of the things they discovered early on is that the big trucks have to travel slowly on them around 30-40 k per hour otherwise they create an ice wave which will break up the ice as they come ashore.Every once in awhile a truck does break through. Riding a truck to the bottom of the lake is not a pleasant experience, I have been told. If you live in the north driving on ice becomes almost second nature. But if you every want to scare your companions you just mention "Do you know we are now driving over 300 feet of water." Psycologically the depth scares people when they realize it. 10 feet or 2000 feet doesnt matter to the ice but visualizing the depth does jar one awake. Hearing the ice crack beneath you is also a sobering experience, even though it happens all the time. Just a temperature chancge from minus 10 to minus 40 will cause the ice to crack. Take care all regards Walt
