Hmmm, doesn't specifically mention "ice and/or snow" ... :D

thinking Cub on skiis and ice fishing opportunities.
 
Yep! I understand this in the summer, IIRC the rationale behind this is just that it's our drinking water. In the winter that becomes less of an issue! :)
 
even that argument is weak, in my opinion, since most lakes allow gasoline powered outboard motors (granted, some are restricted to electric only). Most lakes also allow kids and dogs to play (and other things) in the water...

besides, the water's polluted - they let the fish pee in it, for pete's sake! :D

Click to expand...

haha I completely agree... but that's their rationale. Wait is that legal for the fish to do? :eek:
 
Suffrage is to blame. When flying is outlawed only outlaws will fly. You straightlaced types better start studying up on cowboy flying.
 
Zip lines are aircraft now? I guess I've been flying for longer than I thought!
