The bad area looked about 5ft wide along crack and towards launch about 4 ft. I found a stick and put it in hole with flag tape. I followed crack a couple hundred yds towards the point and was 13” either side but in crack was only 4-5” in places and was split open about 6” most places. It looks like people have been crossing to the right of the bad spot but is about an 8-10” drop back to the ice. To the left, someone has opened up an access through the heave with 13” on both sides but the crack is 4.5-5” only. Be careful going on the ice at Mulhurst…straight on could take you into the weak spot.  |
Thanks Fishhawk! That's pretty surprising! We were just walking on by Chrystal Springs Area but hearing about this fluctuation in thicknesses, I dunno know. Probably head to Buffalo then...
