Is Cedar Falls still open? Their website has not been updated last I saw. Our ice is gone, gone, gone. This is the 3rd total meltdown this season so far.

Yeah its still open. Hasn't been a good year, only a couple weekends. Pretty sure it is without ice now as well.

Just curious... do you ever stick your tool through the silo? Isn't that bad for the silo? Probably the dumbest question ever asked...

No, the ice is fairly thick but if we hit the concrete silo it will dull the tool a bit
