jimmar,

As it stands right now, I go IN on May 24 and come OUT on May 31st!  Will be happy to loan you my ice auger & sled on your way in, if you like?

Did a trip back in 1996 when the ice didn't come off until the day before... which was something like May 21st.  I remember seeing snow on the Cache Lake portage.

Lots of different factors play into ice-out, I'm thinking.  Clearly this year warrants a close watch.
