Back From Iraq to ice fish without a shack

Sunday afternoon:
I met Matt and Loren drilling a hole in the ice in Grays Bay. Perhaps they were a little overdressed, the temperature was in the mid 20s. Then again, Matt had just returned from a tour in Iraq. The temperature change alone would make one cautious.
They let me take a few photos, then studiously continued to drill there initial hole in the ice. They would fish sans shack.
All around there were numerous ice houses with people gathering to tailgate and enjoy the evening "Superbowl" activities on the Lake.
