Even when no roads exist, sometimes the only practical way to transport a larger motorized vehicle to a remote location is to drive it. In order to do this, a suitable drivable surface must exist. If you are counting on ice then you better plan to have the equipment moved before the lake "break up" in the spring.
This Polaris six-wheeler needed to be moved from Iliamna to Port Alsworth in the late spring. The snow had already started to soften which would make it difficult to navigate through the drifts on the lake ice. The 40 mile trip was for the most part, uneventful. The occasional pressure crack in the ice and deep snow drift kept it interesting, but the fully enclosed cab and heater made it comfortable.
