Tom - Sure, you'd be very welcome. I don't think the ice is very good, though. We got another 12 inches of snow Thursday night through Friday suppertime. The official season total at the National Weather Service station near Marquette is now 216.5 inches. All of that snow keeps the cold air from getting down to the ice on the lakes, so they're often slushy and not as strong as one might want for racing. I guess you could go out on the lake and plow a long stretch, let it sit for a few cold nights, then go for it.
Drive carefully. Yesterday, during the whiteouts that we were having as the "blizzard" blew in -- a pair of county road commission sander/plow trucks crashed into one another. Decent damage -- they were traveling in the same direction and the one in the rear evidently couldn't see the twenty feet in front to notice the other one -- hit it in the left rear - and the right steer tire/axle/suspension was torn off. The cab was pretty well crushed, the sheet metal was bent all to heck, and the "Peterbilt" badge was scraped off the hood. Pretty impressive.
Still want to come for a visit?
