Last skate for the season

Was hoping for one last skate so checked out Rush Cutters yesterday afternoon. The ice was a real mess and very weak with water at the edges with lots of debris and broken ice.  I managed to stand on it via a plank but did not skate.  Not much frost forecast but checked it out first thing this morning on the way home and was stoked to find enough frost to reset the ice and had locked it in enough for a skate.  Used a plank but not really needed.  Ice was hard and fast but spoiled by rocks and small stones in places.  Had a fun skate despite tripping on a couple of small stones.  

Can't see this ice lasting at all without frost.  Last skate for the year I think.
