In my youth, I did a lot of snorkeling and scuba, and it amazed me how ice fishermen could locate a bob house in the same place year after year, as evidenced by the pyramids of beer cans, which in the 50's would show rusting. Sometimes it was a really large pile, and in other cases it was several piles, close together, and sometimes overlapping.

And as a kid, I had learned "if you bring it in, bring it out". Thank you BSA and Camp Lawrence.
