Very Thankful.

My daughter had a bunch of her college friends up to cabin in Cumberland this weekend. They planned to ski at trollhagen on way up from Hudson last night. They have a ski special from 9 till 3 am. I tried to encourage them to leave at midnight. Nope they rolled in at 230. There were 5 of them and none are big partiers. I went fishing this morning and didn’t see them before I left. On way home after fishing was 1/4 mile
From cabin and came over hill to T in our road and holy poop. Sheriff cars and ambulance. Then I see my wife’s car. Turned corner and saw another car down embankment and in the sticks. It was the car that was parked in my driveway when I went fishing. Didn’t know what to expect. They are very lucky. 5 girls in car had gone in to town for coffee at noon today. They hit T intersection and turned left but barely slid sideways down embankment and rolled 1 time and stopped against a tree. They were very shook up but worst injury was a concussion. I will be saying my thanks tonight. Luckily they were wearing seatbelts.

Wow, they were off the road. Glad they are ok

Wow. It could have been much worse. Thankful indeed.

Dang, sure glad noone was seriously hurt!

Whoa, thankfully nobody was hurt …

Paulski

It was slick around there yesterday, we cruised from Ashland to ironwood then back through Hayward and home. There were spots that were pretty slick. Glad they are OK.

my wife needed to babysit today in Maple Grove with the weather and possible road conditions i convinced her to go yesterday. after she texted me she was at her destination i checked 511.

it showed at least 8 accidents from st clond to maple grove!!!!!

Glad everyone is going to be ok.

My worst fear with my kids driving. Glad everyone is OK!!!

Glad to hear they are going to be alright. It was slick yesterday for sure. Came as close as you can come to loosing the truck and trailer on 169 coming back from Red. Lets just say I was real close to needing to change my shorts.

Yikes. That was a learning experience.

Glad everyone came out wiser and only slightly the worse for wear.

My oldest son got his license a couple of weeks ago. He hasn’t really driven much because of a busy schedule.

Yesterday he says he wants to go skiing in the morning. I guess they have to learn to drive with snow on the road sometime. So we let him go.

BUT… For those of you parents of young drivers out there, I can tell you there is tremendous peace of mind in these teen location apps. So much peace of mind to be able to check in and see that the kids made it safe or where they are.

Very lucky for sure bzzsaw! Glad all are relatively OK!

I’m glad it wasn’t worse. I hope the concussed young woman heals quickly and fully.
