http://public.fotki.com/ASK1/2005_michigan_ice_fest/ Some photos taken at the 2005 Michigan Ice Fest in Munising, MI. February 4-6, 2005. It was surprisingly good there. There were great slide shows given by the world's finest climbers. So... that was time well spent. http://images.fotki.com/logo3.gif http://public.fotki.com/ASK1/2005_michigan_ice_fest/ http://public.fotki.com/ASK1/2005_michigan_ice_fest/100_1685a.html an interesting ice cave formed behind a frozen waterfall
