Bake, Minocqua huh? I will be going to my cottage in Tomahawk for an extended New Years trip. Like the 31st to the 4th of January...
My place is like a half hour trail ride on the Bearskin trail from the thirsty whale. If you want to meet up PM me.
Last I heard, not all trails up north in that area were open yet. Hopefully that changed since wednesday/ thursday, but they did not get the snow like we did down here on Friday. Thenagain, it looks like they will get more than the 2-4 inches we are getting now, and look to be getting hopefully 6+ inches or so in all of the northwoods.
The lakes are well frozen bare minimum.
