It starts when a man in his ice fishing shack (translated as 'ark'?) steps out to take a leak. A sudden squall sends the shack skating away and he realizes he is in trouble. He manages to find another ark, breaks in, fires up the Calor heater, and discovers the frozen body on the bunk. We set up a dinnerware molding plant in Minnesota in the winter, of course. At least there are no mosquitoes in the winter. On the drive out from St. Paul I'd pass Lake Minnewaska. I think the whole town moves out on the ice for the winter. https://www.life.com/lifestyle/the-joys-of-minnesota-ice-fishing/ The Minnewaska House had excellent meals and you could still eat the pike. Looking out the windows at the shacks was as close as I wanted to get.
