every now and again,we get a open fall,meaning no snow.Battle lake freezes over and sometimes the ice is safe enough to skate on.The gin clear water makes viewing similar to viewing a aquarium.Fish,muskrats and every where you look,clams!!It used to be a lot of fun,finding a "clam trail" in the sand and following until you came along to the said clam.I can remember as a youngster,skating on the east end for hours at a time.Looking back,it probably was one of the best times of my life.
