That'll make a great You-Tube. Maybe it'll end up on Tosh.0 or something!
RPF - ever seen the ice-motor-biker racers? Think STUDS. Big problem potential. One thing about ice - it's not all you're dealing with. There's snow, there's slush, there's ridges and gaps.
The toughest days can be when there's NO snow at all - and you've got slick ice. Days when the action of turning the auger turns YOU instead of the blade!
Other days you might have 3 feet of snow, or a goey mix of snow and slush.
Even the 4-wheelers get bogged down in heavy slush.
Look at the photo a few up - of the sled/bike with treads - like a tractor or backhoe. Think of the Lost in Space buggy they used to drive around.
Maybe you can find some parts in the lot at Smith and Edwards.
As for Willard and structure - a couple maps I'd come across. Don't recall how far back (decade?) there was a project that involved tires and christmas trees dropped in the lake. Someone had some side scan imaging that really showed them. They refer to them as "artificial reefs".
The second map makes me wonder - if the lines extending into the bay aren't extensions of the roads outside the water, perhaps some of the roads used during the construction?
