Four-em Tour


Hello, my name is Scott and this is my rink.









On December 18th my ice was clear and smooth.  We call it 'virgin ice' here in backyard-rinkville.  In 5 years of making my own ice, this marks the earliest that I have had skateable ice.






Over the years I have found lots of natural elements embedded in my ice, including: sand, tree bark, bark mulch, leaves, 'helicopter' seed pods, and bits of squirrel nests.  This year I found a bird's wing.  Evidence suggests that it was a Blackhawk, playing the 'off-wing.'








I take what Mother Nature gives me and work hard to keep it smooth and usable.








Hope to see you on my ice sometime soon.  Thanks for stopping by.
