Wow it's quite around here! Cheryl, hope you are not buried under many feet of snow.
My friend and I crossed the ice to Mackinac Island yesterday, we took the 5-mile "B" line that is only used in years with really good ice. The regular rout, to British Landing, is 3 1/2 miles, which we returned on. There is so much snow this year the sledding is great.
It is quite something being out that far from shore, surrounded by miles of bleak ice. Sometimes the ice pings and groans, deep whale-like mutterings which honestly makes the hair on my neck stand up. Must be like what a desert feels like. Only really, really cold.
