Along the same line as the above question ---- Obviously just walking or sno-mobiles would be the least $$ way to get to the island during a complete freezeup but in the spirit of the question ... I wonder if anyone uses a 6 wheel ATV anymore. They were a semi-common thing waaaay back when to get across land and water and might well be suited to island transport in those "tween" times. Then again I'm not sure how good 6wheel ATV's would be in climbing back upon ice from the H2O. Just a thought ....
