Road Conditions

We ventured up to the cottage on Saturday April 19th. The Fraserburg Rd was ok. The frost heaves were abating in most places. The river was almost encroaching on the road at Fraserburg. Just before the 90 degree turn about 4kms. from the lake water covered 75% of the road for a short stretch.

At the Leech lake the centre portion of the road was free of snow. We noticed one small hole in the road and one spot where running water had gouged the edge of the road. This is along the north road (left) and only about a quarter mile along.

The ice had receded about 20-30 yards off our shoreline. The water level was higher than normal with quite a bit of ice yet to melt.

I will contact the road committee and get a timing for the seasonal grading and repair of the road.

If anyone has anything to report send it to me and I will post it to the blog

    Alan it is great that you are carrying on with the blog. I think it is a great way of covering issues and getting feed back on what is happening on the lake. On the rights side of the lake road there is one bad spot at the firt culvert. It is starting to cave in and has been marked with a pylon. The first part of the road was in real bad shape earlier this year due to the logging that is going on about 100 yards before the paved hill. It has been regraded but it has not been fixed back to the condition it was in befoe they started logging. I do not know if the lake commity was aware that the road was being used for logging this winter.

    The paved hill on the Nort road has a few areas where it has heaved quite a bit, to the point where some vehicles are making contact with the high spots.
