First Grumpy Old Man Sighting of the Year

Today I went to the Grumpy Old Man Hole to take a look at things. The Grumpy Old Man sighting wasn't at the GOMH. I first drove over to the Platte Lake public access to look and see if I could see some ice fishermen. Sure enough Grumpy Old Man Willard was there looking out onto the ice in his minivan. I didn't talk to him. On my way back I stopped to look at the GOMH and it was about 50% more frozen than on March 21st. The water level was up a few inches from March 21st.
