| People drive on the ice Marty. They also go through the ice and sink when it's not thick enough. |

I see what looks like snowmobile tracks. I can't tell if the marked line further out is a plowed road or a pressure ridge. The pressure ridges are very dangerous and the cause of many vehicles going through the ice. I will drive on Minnesota lakes, but you would not catch me on a great lake, way too much shifting ice. On the north shore of superior I have gone to bed on a 20 below night listening to waves crash from the open lake, and then woke up to ice as far as I could see. nature is awe inspiring powerful. ------------- For thousands of years men have felt the irresistible urge to go to sea, and many of them died.

I visit Bayfield several times each year. It is a really nice old harbor town. Bayfield is about a 90 minute drive from my summer place (we go there sometimes in the winter too). It is a nice drive if you haven't experienced it. Driving the Ice Road is the only way residents can get between Bayfield and Madeline Island in the winter.. It has quite a bit of traffic on it at times. BTW, as the saying goes, you are never more than 700 feet from solid ground..... straight down. http://www.superiortrails.com/madeline-island-iceroad.html" rel="nofollow - Bayfield to Madeline Island ice road http://bayfield.org/bayfield-activities/ice-road/" rel="nofollow - Bayfield to Madeline Island drive Here it is in the summer when I used to boat in Lake Superior in my 15' Mark Twain I/O.  looking back at Bayfield.

Marty, You've never watched IRT?  I drive the ice when conditions are good for it. Up north, I can get over to Charlies (Brady) house in 5 minutes instead of 25 minutes by road in winter.------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

The school bus that serves Madeline Island during the transition seasons is quite unusual. Madeline Island is the only one of Wisconsin’s Apostle Islands that is inhabited and it is connected to Bayfield on the mainland by ferry in the summer and by a two-mile ice highway in the winter when the waters of Lake Superior freeze over. However, during that transitional stage, when the ice is not strong enough to support a vehicle, the connection is serviced by ice boats with air propellers. How else would the kids get to school? ------------- 1970 Mustang "Theseus' paradox" If everyone else is doing it, you're too late! |
