Load in Eagle River

We got to Eagle River early afternoon. The drive was beautiful, the trees were frosted white and there wasn't much traffic. It was a nice quiet drive. Our hotel is nice, Eagle River is in the snowmobile capital of the country and there are a lot of them here. At one point I had to run INTO the street to avoid being run over by a pack of snowmobiles!


The load in went pretty well except that none of the light instruments had been gelled, so that had to be done. Luckily I was in the building to see Bill drive the cherry picker into the ice, it was a small earthquake in the shanty, not more than a 3.5, but it was pretty funny. The theater is pretty, it's a newer facility, we are only their third presentation. The booth is a big open loft. Bill, Craig and I were all up there during the show. It was a lot of fun.
Eagle River is a great little town. I almost wish that the schedule had been reversed and we had the day here rather than Ladysmith. With all of the little shops, I'm sure we could have found plenty to do to fill an afternoon.
