Here is a picture looking out the back window of Al's car, with him in the rocking chair being pulled around the pond by a car with a towrope. Back in the '80 when vehicles were still allowed to drive out onto the pond in winter, we used to spend all weekend cruising around on the ice. We had an old wicker rocking chair with iron runners that we used to pull all around the pond. You could steer with your feet, and those that were really good at it could get some nice airtime hopping over the jumps that would form from the ice heaves! Just like water-skiing, when you are on the outside of a turn while the driver is accelerating, you can expect to end up going an awful lot faster than ya really wanted to!
