Back in January, we drove across the lake for the first time. It was an absolutely gorgeous day to experience our first lake driving experience. I was a NERVOUS WRECK! I started to hyperventilate a couple of times & I thought my heart was going to jump out of my chest it was racing so hard. It just does NOT feel natural to drive your car, with your children in the backseat, across a huge frozen lake that is about 50 feet deep! Too bad I don't have a video of myself freaking out for this post...but I did take some pics of course. Since this drive, I have driven across the lake several more times & even spent an entire day ice fishing. So, I got over my fear a little bit.
This is a great shot of what the plowed roads on the ice look like. DO YOU SEE THE HUGE CRACKS?????? I was not mentally prepared for the cracks & that is what had me totally freaking out. The DNR (Department of Natural Resources) swears it's safe though...would you trust them???
A shot while driving
This is the best shot I got where you can see the ice the best.
Apparently, they were having issues towing their ice house, so they just pulled over to the side of the ice road. weird.
This was my favorite ice house! How cute is that? They even put up the tree for decoration! If I ever had my own ice house...it would be super cute from the outside too!
This was where we exited the lake. These signs are just so funny to me when the lake is frozen. You can't swim or dive from this spot...but go ahead & drive your car out there! Welcome to the Minnesota life.

So I'm laughing because you said the "DNR swears it's safe" and I'm thinking "do not resuscitate"....and I definitely wouldn't trust THAT!
