Hardly do you ever get what you ask for but I guess the “let it snow” thing really worked. Boy did Athens get hit with quite a snow storm on Friday. It was exciting to see the snow but it put a little damper on our travel plans for the weekend. Laura and I were heading to Prescott to visit Dan and Renee. Our original plan was to leave about noon. We were going to stop in Chippewa and take a tour at the Lennie’s Lodge and then head over to Lake Elmo, MN and go out for Happy Hour with some of the Retail Construction Folks. Well by noon we had heard such horror stories about the roads that we put our plans on hold. About 1 o’clock we called our cousins who was also traveling to the Cities and they said once they got to Chippewa the roads were fine. So we dug out the car and started out on our trip. Getting out of town and on hwy 97 the roads were pretty bad. Highway 29 was not too bad and just like they said once we got to Chippewa the roads were clear. Because of our late start we could not fit the Lodge tour in – maybe next time. We arrived at RCI at 5 minutes to 5. Just in time to head to the Twin Point for a drink. They did not have 1 flake of snow in Lake Elmo!!! J
