We probably take winter for granted in these parts, but imagine how the site of dozens — hundreds — of ice houses on a frozen lake must look to the rest of the world.
A flying acquaintance, Alex Peterson, flew over Lake Mille Lacs this weekend and provided a couple of photos for a Texas-based Web site.
There are probably some sociological studies to be done about why we put ice houses next to each other on a vast lake, when we’re trying to –among other things — “get away from it all.”
Of course, these are like the lost cities, since they must disappear in less than two weeks.
