Ice Houses on Mille Lacs

This is the Minnesota equivalent of project housing. Yes, the movie Grumpy Old Men was not making it up. They actually go live in shacks on the ice and fish. These are owned by Eddy’s Resort on Lake Mille Lacs in central Minnesota. Anyhow, I took this on the infamous trip up to Grandma’s house on the Saturday before Christmas. I have several pics of the houses out further on the lake, I might post them later on. These are big luxury ice houses, they are almost trailer-sized and if you look, you can see propane tanks on them.

Yesterday’s Theme day was a lot of fun, thanks for all the comments! I went through all 118 participating sites yesterday and it was quite impressive! It’s fun to be apart of this amazing group. Let’s get out there and record the new year!
