The article might have been a bit more exact with the hut removal date on Simcoe which is Tuesday March 15 not this coming Tuesday March 8th which seemed to be the suggestion. Might be wise to get them off once this rain stops and the lake surface tightens up again regardless of the established date.

Lots of huts headed for shore to-day. The last few days of the season are always good ones to travel slowly and exercise great vigilance on the chance your route might take you into a large rectangular hut hole that has been left unmarked (or the branch has thawed and fallen level with the ice surface leaving no warning). One of our guys got soaked to the waist on his way in to-day. He was retracing his morning route but the access point had deteriorated quite a bit and his ATV broke through. Just two days ago, trucks and other vehicles were driving out on the ice at this point (11th of Innisfil, Lockhart Road). Be wary on the final day, especially if crossing cracks.
