When the ice gets too thick

When the ice gets too thick

There's about 24 inches of ice on Lake of the Woods, and why wouldn't there be? The self-proclaimed "walleye capital of the world" is practically at the north pole. Ice fishing? Perfectly safe. What could go wrong with 24 inches of ice? This.

Super Bowl volunteer diary part 2: Training and boxes of swag

Super Bowl volunteer diary part 2: Training and boxes of swag

I’m officially trained in for my Crew 52 assignment. And it is (drumroll) … at volunteer headquarters, where it will be a climate-controlled 72 degrees.
