Here I am wondering if I REALLY want to do this... strip and run into the water... remember it was 2 degress...ok... Ok... I'll do it...  Here I am getting ready.I'm ready to go and raising a toast to my Support Team.My beach neighbor and I warming by the fire just before our plunge.Here's the tiny hiney I followed to the lake.This lady in the black tank top gave me a High-Five when I first entered the water.  I'm the one on the right in the red shirt.Here I am holding my PBR up high as I pulled it's tab.Here I am just strolling around and drinking my beer... did I mention that the air tempature was 2 and the water temp was 36.Remember I'm the one in Red and just having a leisurely good old time.Ok, time to come out.  Notice the camera guy to the left.  And the dude in the green trunks behind me.Look how close Mr Green Trunks is now, he was really in a hurry to get out of the cold.Remember Mr Camera Guy, here's the photo he tool.Here's how we climbed down and out.  A nice guy brought a rope and held on to the top end as each of us one-by-one climbed up or down.  This photo was again taken by Mr Camera Guy.Here's a great photo of the steam coming off us who have been in the water compared to those who had not.Here's the guy who manned the rope.Here I am post plunge standing in my bucket of warm water.  See the steam rising out of the bucket.Support Team Post Party; (left to right) Mike, Richard, Wayne and Kathy.
