Last stop....Ice Chamber in Minneapolis

We stopped by an ice bar to have martinis made with ice cold Grey Goose vodka! They were good and we had a lot of fun together!

Never a Dull Moment

What else would you do with your Saturday afternoon in Rice Lake but race cars?!?  On our way though town we drove out onto the lake to check out some of the local races...never seen that before.

Driving on water?!? (Frozen at least)

In Bayfield Wisconsin they have a road from the mainland to Madeline Island about two miles distance but crazy thing is that you drive on lake superior to get there.  That was a first for Dad!

Snowshoeing ON Lake Superior

We had been checking to see if the ice caves were safe to hike to and the message stated that the caves were closed but the hike to them could be done at your own risk.  So we set out to see if we could even see the caves and walk on some frozen water.  The hike was on the edge of the lake which normally would be water in the summer time.  That was unusual in itself hearing the ice crack and move in yge distance and not knowing what was really under our feet.  It sure was cold that day especially with the wind blowing off of the lake!
