Day Three

We started our day at 7:45am with breakfast at Kegler's/Bowling Alley. We were a little tired but everyone's spirits were up and we were ready for the day! We made it to the shop by 9AM and suited up for our last dive. Things went much smoother today and we were already seasoned veterans. One day of ice diving will do that to you. We had a few problems with free flowing again but the good news is the hut warmed up from 19 degrees to 26 degrees for the 2nd day.

Once we finished up Troy and I packed and headed for home! We made it by 2AM. Troy is working on the video and we will have it available on the website shortly! Thank you for following our progress! We had a great time and we will head back to Iowa next year. You know going to Iowa, we will help you appreciate our 60 degree winter days. You Betcha!
