Noticed this hoe sunk in Quill lake passing through Dafoe last week. Morbid curiosity has me wondering if anyone knows what happened?

Is this picture recent?

I’m curious also. I think it’s been out there for years.

When the flooding of the area around the lake they had that hoe out there to clean up some old farm yards etc before they went under water. The hoe broke thru the ice and there it sits. They’ve tried numerous times to save, but gave up probably 5 years ago. The water is receding now and you can see it again.

Picture still shows water up to 16hwy?
Where that hoe is never used to be water that was farmed when I was going to Saskatoon in the early '90s.

The picture was taken a week ago. I haven't been through Dafoe in years, last time they were building up the road to keep it out of the water. The hoe is an interesting land mark now, made me double check I was seeing right!
