My friend John Lindquist was kind enough to send me a link to his YouTube video of a March 8 trip across the ice between Bayfield, Wisconsin and Madeline Island.
The movie provides a behind-the-wheel view of what it's like to drive the ice road to Madeline Island. I've received many comments from visitors to my blog about what it's like to travel the legendary ice road across part of Lake Superior in midwinter. Once you've watched John's video, you'll feel like a seasoned veteran ice driver!
The video illustrates what you can do with a dashboard camera and a little ingenuity. John commented,
"My dashcam is a Vivitar ViviCam 3650 which I don't think is still in production. I bought it a couple years ago at Walgreens in Eau Claire for about $35, and then the optional memory card was an additional $35-40 or so.
I certainly don't mind your linking to my video or embedding it. Now that I've discovered how easy it is to work with YouTube, I've got lots more to upload!
Cheers,
John Lindquist"
The ice road is history now, but I hope this video will coax a few of you to come up to Madeline Island next winter for a trip across the ice. And imagine what kind of neighborhood video tours you could produce with a dashboard camera!
