Later on Saturday, after we got Hank dried off and warmed up, we headed out again. This time we left Hank back at the cottage, to snooze by the fire. The girls and I took a drive west.
We made a brief stop at Dry Haven Creek and took a short walk. It was quite icy and slippery, and the creek was still completely frozen over with ice and snow. So we continued on up to Abraham Lake. It was warm, but very windy and not all that pleasant to be outside. There were still a few "Bubblers" trying to make their way onto the ice and catch a glimpse of the bubbles. The ice is badly deteriorated, and dusted with snow. There are puddles of water on top of the ice, and a large area of open water at Windy Point.
It was neither safe nor pleasant to wander onto the ice, and not really much to see in the way of bubbles. The spectacle is best viewed early in the season right after the lake freezes over. So, we ventured back to the cottage and put a roast in the oven for dinner. Hank was really happy to see us return.
