Picture of the Day for March 1, 2015

People sometimes take a Sunday drive to enjoy the scenery at a slower pace, but for me, a Sunday drive isn’t as appealing during a cold winter day as a summer day. But there one drive you can’t do in the summer as part of County Road H disappears when the ice melts! For a short span in the winter when the ice forms a thick layer over Lake Superior, the two miles of ice road between Bayfield and Madeline Island connects the two land masses. The six lane Highway H across the frozen ice is lined by Christmas trees to help see where the road is when the snow blows across the flat surface.
