Look at a map of Minnesota and you'll see a little bump up at the top. That's called the Northwest Angle. I learned about it in school growing up down there. It's a piece of land separated from the rest of the lower 48 by Lake of the Woods. Driving to it has always required a trip through a piece of Canada. Except that hasn't been an option since covid. So, following Alaska's lead, they've built an ice road.
