On her Facebook page, Kerri Thoreson is looking for "a little help" from her friends. Seems she's trying to determine which local polar bear has been jumping into Lake Coeur d'Alene on New Year's Day the longest. Hey, don't look at me. The closest I ever came to the polar bear plunge was 17 to 20 years ago when I covered the event as a reporter for The Spokesman-Review. I know a couple of you have taken the plunge, and lived to tell about it.
Question: Have any of you taken more than one polar bear plunge?
