Ice houses need tail lights


This was along MN Highway 10 on Dec 31, 2004. Luckily no one was hurt.

Well this wasnt what I expected to see. This is more of a tin shed. But thanks for the humor [;)]

What I was expecting to see was something about ice shanties having reflectors for snowmobiles and quads.[;)]

I have seen some crazy stuff out on the lake in my years. I have heard horror stories about people drinking and driving their orvs and crashing in to all kinds of stuff. I have heard about people who were just enjoying racing accorss the open lake during white outs and run in to houses.

I even had a frend who is no longer with us who drove his snow machein right down in to a pike hole from a shantie that had just been moved that day.

As humorus as this photo is I still get the willies when I think about run ins. That is one of the reasons I dont like a shantie. the other is, I am a bit clostiphobic. that why I have to get out of the house on to the lake[;)]

That it Dag nab it, I already got cabin feaver [pirate] come on ice..!..!..!..:sunglasses:

I can’t believe how this has traveled the internet.

Believe it or not, the woman driving this vehicle works for my sister in-law at the Holiday Inn in Detroit Lakes, MN. She was on her way to work New Years eve, reached for her purse and hit the house/truck. The truck was traveling 35MPH, and the woman was cruising at around 70+.

These pics were taken by another guy on site. He way on his was to his cabin in Perham, saw the accident, then stopped to help.

just shows how small the world is with the internet

I saw a story with a picture of the car and trailer from behind. I’m even more impressed now!

The story I heard was that she was putting lipstick on at the time. Sheesh.

I bet she is happy you didnt share her name :laughing:
its good to know she nor any one else was hurt.

at 70 had the man in the pickup not had a house trailer both he and her would be in traction, if he was lucky.

What express way were they moving on?

with out a doubt moving at that speed 1-2 seconds is all the differance in the world between life and death.

yep this internet thing dose make this world a small place after all.

when did this happen?

express way? this is po dunk MN, it was US hwy 10.

I found the pic of the car from behind.
