Dana Timberlake enters his ice shack Friday next to Brettuns Pond in Livermore. Timberlake and his brother, Mike, built the shack and put it on the ice each winter for friends to play cards, cook meals and fish. It’s nicknamed the Brettuns Pond Casino because of the card games played inside. Daryn Slover/Sun Journal
Paul Rouillard, left, Mike Timberlake, center, and Sonny Timberlake eat breakfast Friday in an ice shack on Brettuns Pond in Livermore. Mike Timberlake said his shack is more about hanging out with friends than it is about fishing. Timberlake keeps a detailed guest book and said up to 20 people have stopped to chat in one day. The shack is nicknamed Brettuns Pond Casino because of the card games played. Sausage, fried potatoes and “several opinions” were on the menu for breakfast, Rouillard said. Daryn Slover/Sun Journal
