A group of guys from Madeline Island went for a joy ride out to Devils Island on the ice for a picnic. Sounds like a blast, I wish I could have joined them! I cannot take any credit for these excellent images. My brother Jim forwarded these pixs to me.
Below is a description by Tibbs of his and Bob Teisberg’s jaunt out to Devils Is. last Sat. on an ice road which was plowed by believe Arnie and Wayne.
"Long Ice Road to Devil's Island yesterday! In fact it was 21 miles from the Red cliff marina to the cliffs at the base of the lighthouse on Devil's. It was a surreal drive, the road just kept going and going and going. It swung right up to the shore of Manitou,we got out and checked out the park service's fish camp and then drove on. As we passed Rocky on our left there was absolutely nothing ahead
but ice to the horizon. Once past Rocky we turned left and you could finally see Devil's but it seemed really far away. As we closed in on the island we also closed
in on the edge of the open water. There were probably fifty people out there grilling brats and wondering around looking at the ice caves and the incredible jumble of shove ice that had ground against the island."
Here is really cool Satellite photo of ice on Lake Superior:
