Beginning in the 80's, and for fifteen years, friends of mine lived on Lockes Island year round. Their "driveway" was at Glendale and they had a snowmobile, a hovercraft, and, of course, a boat for transportation. During that time I visited several times and even house-sat a couple of times in the winter. It was great! As a summer resident used to the islands being inhabited it sure was, as you observe, the ultimate in solitude. My advice: Do it while you are young enough to really enjoy the seasons on the lake and while you are up to the demands of island living in the winter. Best of luck!
