Some small drifts but with the warm weather they are all crusty and easy to drive on.

How thick was the ice? I plan on making me way out there next week

Fished Cold once last winter, cant wait to get back. Thought it would be easier finding people to fish with. And yes, a Flasher is almost a must for lake trout. I can't imagine fishing Lakers or walleye without one now.

Google hotels on CL. Most are good for a day or so. Depends on your budget

If you have any sort of truck you can darn near go anywhere in 4wd and take a little more speed with a 2wd.
