Ice machine at Johnson Creek??

Am I imagining things, or is/was there an ice machine/maker at Johnson Creek?

There's a freezer, but no ice machine/maker (we're camping remember). I guess you could pick a couple of these up. 8-[

Re: Ice machine at Johnson Creek??

Last year they got a new small freezer, which did a much better job of refreezing jugs of water. How it is supposed to work is a take one, leave one policy...providing a way for people to have a rotating supply of ice for their coolers.

Re: Ice machine at Johnson Creek??

I saw some pictures from Wup's Mobile Uploads on Facebook. Everybody looks kind of chilly! And he even made a comment about it being chilly. I'm thinking you all should bring plenty of warm clothes/camping gear.

Re: Ice machine at Johnson Creek??

I'm 3 hours away but it is low 40's here and chilly as hell! I have a feeling when the scud lifts the mountains above will have some fresh snow!

I am seriously considering putting the wheel skis back on, the wheels will handle the strip just fine, and the skis might be handy? You think I'm kidding?

Seriously, brings lots of warm clothing and raingear, it has been a damn cold spring.

Re: Ice machine at Johnson Creek??

We went through alot of ice since the company did the cookout last night. We made a run to Yellow Pine and were able to get some bags at the General Store. I saw the ice chest there but never checked on it.

Re: Ice machine at Johnson Creek??

Can you reverse the polarity on your carb heaters to make ice?
