I got to drive across a lake for the first time this past Sunday afternoon. The 50 mph lake speed limit on Lake Minnetonka was no problem to follow (inside the 150 foot shore-zone the limit is only 15 mph). People I talked to around here assure me that it has been frozen for a long time now (so it must be pretty thick), but no one has been able to say how thick the ice is.
Driving on a huge lake gives you that same feeling you get on a huge roller coaster. You think in the back of your head that you might fall through a crack in the ice and freeze to death while at the same time you reassure yourself that there is the chance of that happening is practically zero and besides, there are so many other people doing it, so don’t worry!
State law says that all ice fishing houses have to be off the lake by April 1st, so if you want to come see one, you had better hurry! 
Besides the ice fishing there was snowmobiling, four-wheeling, motorcycle racing end even one person para-gliding.
