I was assigned to Bayfield, Wisconsin last week to shoot a "windsled" that kids take across Lake Superior to get to school. These kids live on Madeline Island, one of Wisconsin's Apostle Islands. Strange device to be sure. It is like a swamp boat made to go across thin ice, or lakes that are still freezing and may have open water. It is driven by two large props - which are each driven by a 502" chevy race motor. They don't put these motors in street vehicles. They are powerful mills! Anyway, if you'd like to hear more, head to the NY Times site and view the slideshow while you are there.
