Torch Lake in early April
All of you who are Away have been asking the same question. Babs has the answer. Yes. There is still ice on Torch Lake. Lots of it. She writes: We are having lots of sunny days, but that Torch Lake is still frozen, with just a little water around the edges. This was taken at the […]
