Hopefully the dude that got hit initially is ok. He just barely appears in the video after, but I have to wonder with all the other people taking interest after. If he wasn’t, my local news would have picked it up.
Yeah him and his buddy turned around and went back south to Gaylord. Maybe a half hour or a little more later they were back with a bigger group of guys stopping in front of the camera again. This time the guy in the yellow suit pulled way off next to the thermometer and depth gage. There's a message board on the camera and somebody had posted that they were back again later as well...
I have to admit I've stopped in front of that camera to wave etc but not act like an idiot.
Don't remember when they first started that camera but I want to say it had been around 2015 or 16... Anyways this was at the end of the 2018 season. I just pulled up there as you can see still taking my helmet off etc. and my phone started ringing. Ultimately it was one of my buddies. He was doing some work on his computer and had the camera up as well. Heard a sled pulling up and looked and realized it was my boys and I right away!
Shortly before that his wife came in and asked him what he had on the computer. He joking said he was watching for me.
Of course I pulled up right when she went out of the room. Then she was convinced that I called him ahead of time and told him that I was coming up to the camera... But it really was just happen chance!
