I am new to the Grand Rapids area. Do the resorts on Winnie plow roads when the ice gets thick enough. I am familiar with Mille Lacs and the resorts there. If so which resorts and what do they charge to use their roads? Thanks!

There are roads out of Nodak's, High Banks & Denny's for sure. I think it was 5 or 6 bucks a vehicle last year.

We use Nodak's every year - great maps, great advice. The other places mentioned also have good reputations.

I'm just guessing here, but I think you're the guy that bought my house in Faribault. If so, just look me up in the phone book and I can put you on a few hotspots

We go out of High Banks. The new owners are nice people and do a great job of keeping their roads up. If you are used to the surly resort owners on Mil Lacs, you will love dealing with these people. The resort owner attitude up there is much different than what you will be used to. i.e. they actually want you to catch fish, give you advice, and are happy to have your business. The folks on Mil Lacs, for the most part, are jerks for lack of a better term. All the resort owners on LOW and Winnie that I have run into are great people, not sure what the issue is for the Mil Lacs gang.

      There’s critters out and about.  Get yourself some cellular trail cams and you’ll see.

      It wouldn't be the first time I've heard the USS Skunked Again breaking ice! I left this morning, the rain really did a number to the ice. I'll bet the Partridge River will be open by the weekend.

      My yard is pretty open, but narrow. I think I'll be fine with reception in the areas I'm thinking. I try to keep the hill somewhat natural, but my wife wants to see the lake better. The video's I've watched, they have topped the trees and mounted the dish. I would this the swaying would affect the signal. Does Starlink help you with using WiFi for calling? My T-Mobile service sux at the cabin. Did you bury your cable?

      I'm on the wide part of the channel going in to Black Bay. We won't see Paul B. For years.

      Welcome back. Wow it's been since 2018 it looks like. Did you ever "I'm tightening up my footprint and want to build on my Bozeman lot on the Gallatin"?  😏

      You're probably right. This isn't official since I've already lost, but I'll make my supplemental guess for May 6th since it's still open. 😄   As long as I can snake my way along the shore and/or plow through some dark ice on the 8th, I'll be happy. I love aluminum boats!

      For all of my "problems" with getting a clear signal it's worth it. I can spend more time at the lake because I can work during the day and play or get things done at night. Toss in that I can record and watch a football/hockey/basketball game when I'm done at the end of the day....priceless.   Like your place, our property is more natural and I was worried about having to cut down a bunch of trees. I like that people have to get up close to see our place from the lake through the trees. Luckily I didn't have to do much to get enough a signal that works for me. If I needed to be on video calls, I probably would run the dish down to the shore to get a better view of the sky.   BTW - the main problem with mounting the dish on a tree is that the tree still has a canopy that will block the signal. The best option would be to top a tree and then mount it on the clear-cut top.
