"Unusual" Weather -
Whacky Rescue
we wouldn t go sa far as lo
say that this couldn’t happen
anywhere but in Alaska, but
our whacky Alaskan weather
sometimes creates whacky sit
uations.
For instance—on Dec. 3, Ai
Hagen of Playland and a tow
truck from Cottle’s Corner in
Wasilla helped to rescue a car
marooned on the ice of Lake
Wasilla—by boat!
The cold weather of the past
few weeks has placed a thick
layer of ice on area lakes, and
Jack Jensen, who lives on Wa
silla Lake across from Play
land, was doing what many
lake dwellers do in the winter
time—he took a shortcut across
the lake to his home.
On Tuesday, unaware that
the warm spell of the past cou
ple of days had melted consid
erable ice. Jensen started his
drive home across the lake, and
was soon in two feet of water.
When his motor stalled, he
sloshed back through the icy
water to Playland. He and
Hagen attempted to pull a 300
foot length of rope to the stall
ed car, but found it impossible
to keep their footing on the
ice. Hagen then got a boat out
of storage and tied the rope to
the rear seat, Jensen attempt
ing to row to the car. The two

men managed to attach the
rope to the rear bumper hitch
(elbow deep below water), but
found the rope to be about 30
feet short of the shore.
A call to Cottle’s brought the
tow truck, which ran out^lxmt
40 feet of cable to be tied to
the rope, and pulled the car to
shore. The vehicle appeared
undamaged, although the wa
ter was within a half inch of
covering the front seat. The
depth of the lake is about 18
feet at that point.
Hagen noted that the ice on
the lake appears to be saucer
shaped, with the greatest depth
of covering water in the mid
dle of the lake.
