I was fishing on a hometown lake where the pressure ridge is normally in the center of the lake. Well one particular year it formed on the east side of the lake. It was freezing cold one morning while we were fishing. I decided to drive back to the truck and warm up for a bit (while I was in college I couldn't afford an ice hut so I would freeze on a bucket haha). Anyway while I was driving to the truck someone came running out of their hut and told me they just watched someone fall through the ice. I drove up to about 30 feet from where the person had fallen through and luckily they had gotten out and I gave them a ride to their truck till search and rescue got to the truck then left after I knew he was in good hands. He was a guy from out of town driving his 4 wheeler and didn't know the break was there and only about 2 inches thick. Had I not been there the guy had about a 20 min walk to his truck and I was by far the closest person to him when he fell.
By buddy and I had debated going to the truck for about three hours till finally I decided I would go. Alot if people don't believe in Devine intervention. I have, currently do, and always will.
